About

AirportProfiles is an editorial reference library of the world's airports, organised the way people actually look for them — by name and by code. For each airport we publish the facts that published sources state: its IATA and ICAO codes, the city and country it serves, its runways, elevation, time zone, what it is known for, its history, and how to get there. Where sources allow, we also publish places to stay and eat nearby, each with a link to the place's own site, and the landmarks and national parks near the airport, linked to their profiles on our sister sites.

How we work

Every profile begins with fetched sources: OurAirports' public-domain dataset for the permanent facts (codes, runways, elevation, coordinates, time zone), and Wikipedia's airport articles (CC BY-SA) for what each airport is known for, its history, and how to get there. The facts on the page are the facts in those sources, which are linked at the foot of every profile. Where sources are silent — or where two honest sources disagree on a figure — the profile leaves the field out rather than guessing. Photographs come only from Wikimedia Commons, each credited to its photographer, and each checked against the airport it illustrates: a photograph of a different airport never illustrates a page.

What we deliberately leave out

Live flight times and delays we do not publish at all: they change by the minute and belong to the airport's own site, linked from every profile that has one. Ticket prices and fees are likewise left out — they belong to the airlines and the airport.

What we are not

AirportProfiles is an independent editorial publication. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any airport, airline, or aviation authority. Nothing here is an official source — it is a library built from official and published ones.
