Excluded sources
We reviewed and deliberately excluded the following from our citation list:
- Grokipedia: AI-generated encyclopedia entry with no disclosed editorial or fact-checking process. Not used as a citation for any published fact; any figure found only on Grokipedia (e.g. 1991-2001 construction span, 2028 capacity-expansion targets) was treated as unverified and omitted from the site.
Deliberately omitted facts
The following categories of information do not appear as fixed claims anywhere on this site, because we could not verify them against a reliable source:
- Exact current terminal throughput in passengers/hour (conflicting figures of 300 and 600 found; neither independently confirmed via an official operator or Ministry of Civil Aviation source)
- Precise airport opening/construction year (sources conflict between a circa-2005 opening and a 1991-2001 construction span; only the well-corroborated March 2023 expanded commercial operations date is used)
- Any 2028 capacity-expansion passenger targets (single low-reliability source only)
- Airport telephone numbers, email addresses, or named airport officials (none found from a verifiable official source)
- Exact current full airline roster (seasonal and changes within the year; site links to verified sources instead of asserting a fixed list)
- Parking prices, precise transfer prices, and precise driving durations (no official published tariff or Ministry source found; site instructs travelers to confirm locally)
