Airport POIs and Demand Curve

Description
This mod adds POIs for airports around the world, using data from aviationfanatic.com and Wikipedia.

The custom demand curve uses data from the official FAA demand chart for airport arrivals at fly.faa.gov/aadc.

Airport "population" was determined by taking the yearly passenger traffic of each airport and dividing it by 365.

The passenger traffic data is from 2018, as it is the most up-to-date source of free traffic data I could find.

If there are any issues with the mod, please feel free to leave a comment to let me know.

Great Work!
I'm just looking for the color that is used for these POIS.

Hi. Thanks for your work!
As far as I've noticed there are some errors:
1. the POI for Wuhan Tianhe Intl' Airport is too far away from its actual place.
2. (not an actual error but) the POI for Hong Kong Intl' Airport could be moved a little bit to the east (so it would be closer to the real-world MTR station).

Very cool mod! Does this ignore connecting passengers? Some of airports that are used mostly connecting flights will be very inflated. This blog has some interesting data on this. https://www.stlannex.com/blogs_2020/blog_airport_connections

Hi! Really very grateful for this mod, do you think you could move 'Wellington International Airport' (In New Zealand's Capital, Wellington) to the other side of the runway? It's currently on top of the carpark for a mall!
Thank you very much :)

@LuCab Thanks for letting me know, the mod should be updated.

thanks. I had to do this for Harrisburg and Philadelphia on my own. this will save a bit of work :)
(there is just a problem that some Airport POIs are in weird places: Philadelphia e and Baltimore for example are really far away from their actual location).
