airportsdata PyPI downloads

Extensive database of location and timezone data for nearly every operational airport and landing strip in the world, with 28,140 entries.

Each entry consists of the following data:

  • icao: ICAO 4-letter Location Indicator (Doc 7910) or (if none) an internal Pseudo-ICAO Identifier [1] (28,140 entries);

  • iata: IATA 3-letter Location Code (7,814 entries) or an empty string [2];

  • name: Official name (diacritized latin script);

  • city: City (diacritized latin script), ideally using the local language;

  • subd: Subdivision (e.g. state, province, region, etc.), ideally using the local-language or English names of ISO 3166-2;

  • country: ISO 3166-1 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;

  • lon: Longitude (decimal) of the airport reference point;

  • tz: Timezone expressed as a tz database name (IANA-compliant) or an empty string for Antarctica;

  • lid: U.S. FAA Location Identifier (12,567 entries), or an empty string.

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 and is missing for Antarctica;

  • No historical data (closed airports are removed).

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

or

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

or

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