Extensive database of location and timezone data for nearly every airport and landing strip in the world, with 28,876 entries.

Each entry consists of the following data:

  • icao: ICAO 4-alphanumeric code or FAA/TC LID[*] (28,876 entries)

  • iata: IATA 3-letter code (for 6,571 entries) or an empty string

  • name: Official name (latin script)

  • city: City

  • subd: Subdivision (e.g. state, province, region, etc.)

  • country: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (plus XK for Kosovo)

  • elevation: MSL elevation (the highest point of the landing area) in feet

  • lat: Latitude (decimal)

  • lon: Longitude (decimal)

  • tz: Timezone expressed as a tz database name (IANA-compliant)

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

Known issues:

  • 219 aerodromes have IATA codes that are not in the IATA database and may be incorrect;

  • A small, but unknown, number of aerodromes are missing their IATA code (none are major ones);

  • Timezone was originally sourced from TimeZoneDB and is missing for Antarctica;

  • No historical data.

Please report any issues you may find here.
