At present, this is an early working draft for correctly naming airport articles. It is incomplete and suggestions may change as consensus develops.
When creating airport articles, redirects should be created from any additional names that the airport may be known as. Check to see if other airports have the same name, which is quite common if you use a common name like
Tri-Cities Airport or
Tri-City Airport. Be aware that many airport articles do not yet exist so doing a search on Wikipedia for other airports with the same name can produce misleading results.
However, be aware that "airport" has different meanings in different places. In North-America it means most any kind of aviation terrain; whereas, for example, in Western Europe the word "airport" is only applied to big fields with commercial traffic; smaller fields will be called "airfield" or even "airstrip"; cfr. "Flugplatz", "Campo di Volo", and more such)
