OurAirports (David Megginson and contributors)
OurAirports open data (airports)
Every airport, heliport and seaplane base in the OurAirports database with its latitude and longitude (decimal degrees), type (large, medium or small airport, heliport, seaplane base, closed), ICAO, IATA and local codes, country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), region and whether it has scheduled service. Used only for the coordinates of airports with IATA codes, to compute great-circle distances between them. Community-maintained and regenerated every night.
