print(airport) # {'code': 'LGA', 'lat': '40.7731', 'lon': '-73.8756', 'name': 'LaGuardia Airport', 'city': 'Flushing', 'state': 'New York', 'country': 'United States', 'woeid': '12520509', 'tz': 'America/New_York', 'phone': '', 'type': 'Airports', 'email': '', 'url': '', 'runway_length': '7000', 'elev': '22', 'icao': 'KLGA', 'direct_flights': '82', 'carriers': '30'}

# Look up an airport by name
airport = airports.airport_name('LaGuardia Airport')
print(airport) # {'code': 'LGA', 'lat': '40.7731', 'lon': '-73.8756', 'name': 'LaGuardia Airport', 'city': 'Flushing', 'state': 'New York', 'country': 'United States', 'woeid': '12520509', 'tz': 'America/New_York', 'phone': '', 'type': 'Airports', 'email': '', 'url': '', 'runway_length': '7000', 'elev': '22', 'icao': 'KLGA', 'direct_flights': '82', 'carriers': '30'}
