Try breaking up the contexts. Contexts are what you call 'submenus'.
For example:
[MetarMain]
exten => 1,1,answer
exten => 1,n,Background(Met_welcome)
exten => 1,n,Background(Met_Instructions)
exten => 3575,1,set(airport=ekrk) ; non-ambiguous
exten => 3575,n,goto(Metar_Process,s,1)
exten => 3524,1,goto(Metar_ekch_ekah,s,1) ; ambiguous, so submenu
[Metar_ekch_ekah]
exten => s,1,Background(Metar_ekch_or_ekah)
exten => s,n,WaitExten(3000)
exten => s,n,goto(1)
exten => 1,1,set(airport=ekch)
exten => 1,n,goto(Metar_Process,s,1)
exten => 2,1,set(airport=ekah)
exten => 2,n,goto(Metar_Process,s,1)
[Metar_Process]
exten => s,1,NoOP(Airport code chosen: ${airport})
exten => s,n,...
Made it up as it went along, so it could be strewn with bugs... but it
should lead you in the right direction.

Hello
I'm doing an IVR-service, where pilot can check metar (airport weather
information), they enter the 4 letter airport code on their phone, and
get the metar read back by text-to-speech.
[Metar]
exten => 1,1,answer
exten => 1,2,Background(Met_welcome)
exten => 1,3,set(airport="")2,Background(Met_welcome)
exten => 1,3,set(airport="")3,set(airport="")
exten => 1,n,Background(Met_Instructions)
(When they press an airportcode, I set a variable)
exten => 3575,1,set(airport=ekrk)
exten => 3575,n,goto(Metar,s,1)
exten => 3598,1,set(airport=ekyt)
and so on
exten => 3575,n,goto(Metar,s,1)
exten => 3598,1,set(airport=ekyt)
and so on
exten => 3598,1,set(airport=ekyt)
and so on
In the S extension, I do all of the processing .
My problem is that some of the airports has the same code, for
instance EKCH wich is entered by pressing 3524, but EKAH has the same
digits, so I need to make a sub-menu, where I can ask the caller to
press 1 for EKCH or 2 for EKAH.
Right now, I do like this:
exten => 3524,1,background(Met_ch_bi_ah)background(Met_ch_bi_ah)
exten => 4,1,set(airport=ekch)
exten => 4,n,goto(Metar,s,1)
exten => 6,1,set(airport=ekbi)
exten => 6,n,goto(Metar,s,1)1,set(airport=ekch)
exten => 4,n,goto(Metar,s,1)
exten => 6,1,set(airport=ekbi)
exten => 6,n,goto(Metar,s,1)6,1,set(airport=ekbi)
exten => 6,n,goto(Metar,s,1)6,n,goto(Metar,s,1)
This is not a very good solution, if a user by mistake press 4 in the
main loop, it goes right to EKCH metar, instead of informing the user
that it is an invalid code.
So what I need is a way to make a submenu, that is only "visible" when
needed, and can set the airport variable.
How do I do this?
