Airports API

A worldwide airport database in one fast API: roughly 7,700 airports with IATA and ICAO codes, name, city, country, latitude and longitude, altitude and time zone. Look up any airport by its IATA (3-letter) or ICAO (4-letter) code, search by name, city or country, find the airports nearest to any coordinate within a radius (with great-circle distances, optionally only those with IATA codes), or list every airport in a country. Built on the open OpenFlights/OurAirports dataset and served entirely in-memory, so responses are instant and the service is always available. Ideal for travel and booking apps, flight trackers, logistics and routing, maps and location features.

Airport Frequencies API

Airport radio communication frequencies as an API — 30,000+ frequencies at 11,000+ airports, from the OurAirports dataset. List every published frequency at an airport by ident (e.g. KJFK → Approach 125.7/127.4/132.4, ATIS, Tower, Ground, Clearance, …), or filter fleet-wide by type or exact frequency (e.g. find every airport using the emergency frequency 121.5). Each record carries the airport, frequency type (TWR, GND, ATIS, APP, CTAF, UNICOM, CNTR, …) with a readable name, the description and the frequency in MHz. Ideal for aviation radio, flight simulators, EFB, scanner and flight-planning apps.

Runways API

Every runway in the world as an API — 47,000+ runways at 40,000+ airports, from the OurAirports dataset. List all the runways at any airport by ICAO/local ident (e.g. KJFK → four runways, the longest 13R/31L at 14,511 ft), with each runway's length (feet and metres), width, surface (asphalt, concrete, grass, …), lighting and both-end designators, true headings and coordinates. Or filter runways fleet-wide by surface, minimum length and lighting. Ideal for flight planning, flight simulators, EFB and aeronautical apps, and aviation analytics.

Navaids API

Radio navigation aids (navaids) as an API — 11,000+ VOR, NDB, DME, TACAN, VORTAC and VOR-DME beacons across 231 countries, from the OurAirports dataset. Look up a navaid by its ident (e.g. JFK → Kennedy VOR-DME 115.9 MHz), search by name/ident with country and type filters, or find all navaids within a radius of any coordinate. Each record carries the ident, name, type, frequency (kHz and MHz), elevation, country and any associated airport. Ideal for aviation tools, flight simulators, EFB apps, flight planning and aeronautical charts.
