Installation

pip install aeronavx

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/teyfikoz/AeroNavX.git
cd AeroNavX
pip install -e .

Quick Start

import aeronavx

# Get airports
ist = aeronavx.get_airport("IST")
jfk = aeronavx.get_airport("JFK")

# Calculate distance
dist_km = ist.distance_to(jfk)
print(f"Distance: {dist_km:.2f} km")

# Find nearest airports (plural for multiple results)
nearest = aeronavx.nearest_airports(41.0, 29.0, n=5)
for airport in nearest:
    print(f"  {airport.iata_code}: {airport.name}")

# Or get single nearest airport
closest = aeronavx.nearest_airport(41.0, 29.0)
print(f"Closest: {closest.name}")

# Estimate emissions
co2 = aeronavx.estimate_co2_kg_for_segment("IST", "JFK")
print(f"CO2: {co2:.2f} kg per passenger")

Advanced: Filtering Airports

from aeronavx.core import loader

# Load only major airports (large + medium with scheduled service)
major_airports = loader.load_airports(
    include_types=['large_airport', 'medium_airport'],
    scheduled_service_only=True
)
print(f"Major airports: {len(major_airports):,}")  # ~3,200

# Load specific countries
us_airports = loader.load_airports(countries=['US'])
print(f"US airports: {len(us_airports):,}")  # ~20,000

# Load airports with IATA codes only
iata_airports = loader.load_airports(has_iata_only=True)
print(f"IATA airports: {len(iata_airports):,}")  # ~9,000

CLI Usage

# Calculate distance
aeronavx distance --from IST --to JFK --unit nmi

# Find nearest airports
aeronavx nearest --lat 41.0 --lon 29.0 --n 5

# Search by name
aeronavx search --name "Heathrow"

# Estimate emissions
aeronavx emissions --from IST --to LHR

# Flight time
aeronavx flight-time --from IST --to JFK
