Sorry if this is in the wrong channel. DVA Find a Flight has the ICAO for Yogyakarta Indonesia as WIIJ, however, WIIJ does not exist (unable to return any google search results nor find the stock airport in P3D). With the same IATA identifier of JOG, I found the airport as WAHH for the ICAO.

DVA airport info for Yogyakarta Indonesia: https://prnt.sc/7l1dA5aCkoUa https://www.deltava.org/airportinfo.do?id=JOG
Wiki page for airport with the same IATA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adisutjipto_Airport

Also created a help desk ticket fo rthe same. I just want to be sure that I'm flying to the correct airport if I were to fly from Bali to Yogyakarta

WAHH is correct, looks like the airport changed its ICAO 3 times, WIIJ -> WARJ -> WAHH

Strange that I was too unable to find any mention of the older ICAOs on google search, but I did find this old FAA list of Indonesian Airports and all 3 seems to be on the list. https://www.notams.faa.gov/common/icao/R24C1.html confused

Not sure how reliable this source is:

Found a mention on the VATSIM forums too:

I just saw the new airport WAHI is for jet engine traffic now, leaving WAHH for turboprop/prop only. Since the flight from Bali to Yogyakarta is with a 737, then WIIJ should be scratched and put in either WAHH (turboprop) or WAHI (jets) or both. But if I were to fly from WADD-WAHI and file that report as WADD_WIIJ then it would likely be rejected.
