New Airport Code

A new unique ICAO-like airport code was added : DR01.
When a US Special Forces Wolfhound landed at Niger Air Base 201 it became clear a new code had to be created for this air strip constructed by the US Air Force a stone-throw away from the grandly named Mano Dayak International Airport, because none could be found and sharing the IATA code with Agadez Airport (AJY) just will not do.
Originally inteded as a drone base clearly it is being used for other purposes too.
