  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

  Delete the Airport:

  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the airport in other areas of the system, such as routes or schedules.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP for managing flights and schedules, such as /SCMTMS/FLIGHT or /SCMTMS/SCHEDULE.
