Is there a positive, sourced reason this airport is not open for ordinary commercial engagement: closed to civil traffic, in a sanctioned jurisdiction, or a general-aviation field with no scheduled service? Returns `closed` (no civil passenger operations), `restricted` (the airport operates but sits under UK sanctions guidance for its jurisdiction, with the guidance page cited), `general-aviation` (no scheduled passenger service), or `no_exception_recorded`. The last is exactly that: this dataset records exceptions with their sources; it does not confirm that scheduled service exists, and a `no_exception_recorded` answer should not be quoted as "open". Read `method` before quoting a `closed`. `sanctions-register` and the other airport-level methods are hand-read against a named source and carry the date the airport closed: Kyiv Boryspil since 24 February 2022, Istanbul Atatürk since April 2019. `curated-airports-type` means the airport's own record types it as closed and usually carries no date, so it establishes that the aerodrome is closed and not when. `general-aviation` is only ever airport-level: the absence of scheduled service is never inferred from an airport's type or size. The `restricted` value can come from a country-level rule (Russia, Iran) rather than an airport-level fact; `method` is `jurisdiction-rule` when it does, the rule is applied to the country the airport resolves to, and it is the UK's guidance, not a statement about any other jurisdiction's law. An airport in one of those jurisdictions that nobody has read individually still answers `restricted` on the country rule alone, and its notes say so. Do NOT use this for daily operational status, NOTAMs or temporary closures. `identifier` is an IATA or ICAO code, or an airport name; a name is resolved to its code first and the answer says so in its first note. Reading the answer: `status` is resolved, unresolved or not_covered. `confidence` is verified (named on an official list or read on the operator's own page), programmatic (derived from a public structured source and only as current as that source) or unknown. `provenance` names each source behind the answer; `source_url` and `as_of` are the citation. Unknown is never filled from the airport's country or size. `not_covered` means the airport is outside the public set rather than anything about the airport; report_unmet_need records which airport was wanted.
