Where a source has nothing, the line is left out. Distances, neighbours and the antipode are computed from the coordinates. What you won’t find: terminal maps, airline lists, shops or live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that guessed at those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
