    I will look into it. Zakynthos / Zante is rare in that both names are used, and both technically correct. This isn't even an alternative spelling as in Majorca / Mallorca. Islands with one airport always create a challenge - do we go by the name of the capital / largest city, or do we use the island. Unfortunately, there is no consistency here, and there was a famous case when mmore than 20 Ryanair passengers were left behind in the terminal at Liverpool, because they didn't know that Las Palmas was the name used for Gran Canaria.
    
    I will do a blog post on this with a list of islands where this is an issue and let users comment.
