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
nearest = aeronavx.nearest_airport(41.0, 29.0, n=5)

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

AI Semantic Search (HF)

import aeronavx as anx

results = anx.semantic_search("New York international", top_k=5)

# If pandas is installed, results is a DataFrame
print(results[["iata", "name", "municipality", "score"]])

Jet Lag Intelligence

import aeronavx as anx

ist = anx.get_airport("IST")
jfk = anx.get_airport("JFK")

jet_lag = anx.calculate_jet_lag(ist, jfk, age=35)
print(jet_lag.direction.value, jet_lag.severity.value, jet_lag.estimated_recovery_days)

Network & Hub Intelligence

import aeronavx as anx

hubs = anx.identify_global_hubs(top_n=5)
for hub in hubs:
    print(hub.airport.iata_code, hub.hub_score)

Advanced Emissions + SAF

import aeronavx as anx

emissions = anx.calculate_flight_emissions(
    "IST", "JFK",
    aircraft_type=anx.AircraftType.WIDE_BODY,
    fuel_type=anx.FuelType.JET_A1,
    load_factor=0.85,
)
print(emissions.total_co2_kg, emissions.co2_per_passenger_kg)

savings = anx.compare_saf_savings("IST", "JFK", saf_percentage=50)
print(savings.reduction_percentage)

Synthetic Routing

import aeronavx as anx

route = anx.generate_route("IST", "JFK", num_waypoints=8)
print(route.total_distance_km, route.total_time_hours)

Offline Mode & Cache

Set environment variables before import:

export HF_TOKEN="your_token"
export AERONAVX_CACHE="~/.aeronavx"
export AERONAVX_OFFLINE=1
export AERONAVX_EMBED_MODEL="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"

Offline mode uses cached models only; if the model is not cached, a clear error is raised.

Supported tokens:

• HF_TOKEN
• HF_API_TOKEN
• HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN

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

Runway Information

import aeronavx

# Get all runways for an airport
runways = aeronavx.get_runways_by_airport("KJFK")
for rwy in runways:
    print(f"{rwy.designation}: {rwy.length_ft:.0f}ft, {rwy.surface}")

# Get the longest runway
longest = aeronavx.get_longest_runway("KJFK")
print(f"Longest: {longest.designation} - {longest.length_ft:.0f}ft")

# Get only paved runways
paved = aeronavx.get_paved_runways("KJFK")
print(f"Paved runways: {len(paved)}")

Aviation Statistics

import aeronavx

# Global statistics
stats = aeronavx.get_global_stats()
print(f"Total airports: {stats.total_airports:,}")
print(f"Total runways: {stats.total_runways:,}")
print(f"Countries: {stats.countries_count}")
print(f"Longest runway: {stats.longest_runway_ft:,.0f} ft")

# Country statistics
us_stats = aeronavx.get_country_stats("US")
print(f"US has {us_stats.total_airports:,} airports")
print(f"Large airports: {us_stats.large_airports}")
print(f"Total runways: {us_stats.total_runways:,}")

# Continent statistics
eu_stats = aeronavx.get_continent_stats("EU")
print(f"Europe: {eu_stats.total_airports:,} airports")
print(f"Countries: {eu_stats.countries_count}")

# Top countries
top = aeronavx.get_top_countries_by_airports(5)
for country, count in top:
    print(f"{country}: {count:,} airports")
