There are a lot of airports in the world, small gras areas somewhere in the country, military airbases that nobody knows up to the hypermodern airport with millions of passengers per year. A lot of lists and databases about airports are in the web available. Some are limited to a local area, other offer only bigger airports. But I haven't found a site with (possibly) all airports. You will find some links to airport sites on the page Links

Here I try to collect the important data about airports in the world. What I understand of important data are:

• IATA-Code (respectively in USA the FAA-Code or / and
• ICAO-Code
• Name of the airport
• Town where the airport is located
• Country
• Region (i.e. state, island group, Kanton...)
• Type (civil, military, private, joint Use, heliport)
• Is it an international airport
• Elevation above MSL in Meter
• Length and width of the runways
• Heading of the runways
• PCN of the runways
• Surface of the runways
• Has the runway ILS
• Runway-State (aktive, closed)
• Link zur Airport-Site
• Link to a photo of the airport
• Link to a Webcam
• Coordinates used for a link to a Google-map or satellite photo about the airport area
• Adress of the airport
• Phone-no. (Information, Administration, Lost and Found)

(Bold datas are absolutely necessary)

Certainly I do not claim the completeness but I try to keep the database up to date and clean. Help and support is always welcome. Comments, corrections and additions are appreciated. Contact
