Extensive database of location and timezone data for nearly every operational airport and landing strip in the world,
with |ICAO| entries.

Each entry consists of the following data:

icao: ICAO 4-letter Location Indicator (Doc 7910) or (if none) an internal Pseudo-ICAO Identifier [#]_ (|ICAO|
entries);
iata: IATA 3-letter Location Code (|IATA| entries) or an empty string [#]_;
name: Official name (diacritized latin script);
city: City (diacritized latin script), ideally using the local language or English;
subd: Subdivision (e.g. state, province, region, etc.), ideally using the local-language or English names of
ISO 3166-2 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2#Current_codes>__;
country: ISO 3166-1 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1#Current_codes>__ alpha-2 country code
(plus XK for Kosovo);
elevation: MSL elevation of the highest point of the landing area, in feet (warning: it is often wrong);
lat: Latitude (decimal) of the airport reference point <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_reference_point>__ (max 5 or 6 decimal digits);
lon: Longitude (decimal) of the airport reference point <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_reference_point>__ (max 5 or 6 decimal digits);
tz: Timezone expressed as a tz database name <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones>__
(IANA-compliant);
lid: U.S. FAA Location Identifier (|LID| entries), or an empty string.

.. [#] See here <https://github.com/mborsetti/airportsdata/blob/main/README_identifiers.rst>__ for an explanation on
how the Pseudo-ICAO Identifier is generated for airports and seaplane bases without an ICAO 4-letter Location
Indicator.

.. [#] IATA Multi Airport Cities (MAC) are not not airports and therfore not included, but we provide a database and a
Python function that returns the above data for all the airports of a IATA MAC. Please see documentation here <https://github.com/mborsetti/airportsdata/blob/main/README_IATA.rst>__.

Best efforts are placed to review all contributions for accuracy, but accuracy cannot be guaranteed nor should be
expected by users.

Important notes:

Timezone was originally sourced from TimeZoneDB <https://timezonedb.com>__;
No historical data (closed airports are removed);
No heliports without a IATA code;
No sea bases without a IATA code;
No surface transportation stations, even if they have an official IATA code.

Please report any issues you may find here <https://github.com/mborsetti/airportsdata/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.rst>__.

This project is a fork of https://github.com/mwgg/Airports. All new data submitted in this fork have been validated
against national Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP) or equivalent <https://github.com/mborsetti/airportsdata/blob/main/README_AIP.rst>__ (or
ARINC database) and IATA <https://www.iata.org/en/publications/directories/code-search/>__ or
https://www.ch-aviation.com/airports/{IATA} before publishing.

Raw data

A CSV (comma separated values) file, with headers and encoded in UTF-8, is downloadable from GitHub here <https://github.com/mborsetti/airportsdata/raw/main/airportsdata/airports.csv>__.

Python

Install from PyPi <https://pypi.org/project/airportsdata/>__ using pip:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install -U airportsdata

Once installed, to load the data into a dict:

.. code-block:: python

import airportsdata
airports = airportsdata.load() # key is the ICAO identifier (the default)
print(airports['KJFK'])

or

.. code-block:: python

import airportsdata
airports = airportsdata.load('IATA') # key is the IATA location code
print(airports['JFK'])

or

.. code-block:: python

import airportsdata
airports = airportsdata.load('LID') # key is the FAA LID
print(airports['01AA'])

Older Python versions are supported for 3 years after being obsoleted by a new major release (i.e. about 4 years
since their original release).
