Airports
Provides access to FAA airport data from the National Airspace System Resources (NASR) database. Airports can be queried by ICAO code, FAA identifier, state, or text search. Use an airport's ICAO code or identifier to query related data from other endpoints such as METARs, TAFs, runways, communication frequencies, airport diagrams, and chart supplements.
Identifier Resolution
All identifier-based lookups accept both ICAO codes (e.g., KDFW) and FAA identifiers (e.g., DFW). If an exact match is not found, the API automatically tries the alternate format. This handles the common case where a user provides an ICAO-formatted code for a small airport that only has an FAA identifier — for example, KW05 automatically resolves to W05, and K9D4 resolves to 9D4. Regional ICAO prefixes are also resolved: K for the contiguous US, PA for Alaska, and PH for Hawaii (e.g., PA88 resolves to A88).
Comprehensive FAA NASR airport database covering 19,600+ US airports with facility details, ownership, services, and operational data. Supports search, filtering, and detailed lookups.
