Perhaps you could check all your other airports, too. They all seem to have that problem sadly.
I really like flying IFR with the A400M in germany to all the air bases of the Luftwaffe. But without procedures this is quite impossible.

I keep my downloaded airfields in Addons Linker, and only load in those in the country I'm currently flying in.
Creating dependencies to airfields in different countries, never mind different continents, isn't going to work for me - or, I suspect, anyone who has enough airfields to force them to Addons Linker.
