Labels not displaying

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Also look at your extents, they appear to be in some projection, it is
unlikely that your uk_airports and airports are in that same projection.

What are the extents of your shapefiles?

shpdump uk_airports | head
shpdump airports | head

or use:

gdalinfo uk_airports
