Thanks for this explanation.

I had thought about that option too, but the same questions as my first
solution remain : what should be the list of the available ports ? I
really have no idea here : any craft may be interesting to players.
Also, if this list could be established, why not keep a single port
(which would then be *a lot* easier to maintain) ?

To sum um, in my opinion, there are in really 2 options :

1) Limit the port to a few selected aircrafts
   => (either in one port or split)
2) Remove the port

I can go for 1), but I would need help to establish the list of
aircrafts you'd like... :p

Best regards,
