Airport Code Guide is a free, comprehensive reference directory for airport codes, covering over 9,000 airports across 236 countries and all 7 continents. Our goal is simple: make it easy for travelers, aviation professionals, and curious minds to find accurate airport information in one place.
What We Cover
For every airport in our database, we provide:
- IATA code — the three-letter code used on boarding passes, baggage tags, and flight booking systems (e.g., JFK for John F. Kennedy International Airport)
- ICAO code — the four-letter code used by pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation authorities for flight planning and radio communications (e.g., KJFK)
- Location data — city, country, continent, and GPS coordinates
- Technical details — runway count, runway length, surface type, and elevation
- Live local time — current time at the airport's location
- Current weather — live conditions via Open-Meteo
- Interactive map — precise airport location via OpenStreetMap
- Nearby airports — other airports within range, with distances

Our Data
Airport data is sourced from publicly available aviation datasets and is regularly reviewed and updated. We cross-reference multiple sources to ensure accuracy. That said, airport details — including codes, names, and operational status — can change. We recommend verifying critical information through official airline or airport channels before travel.
About IATA and ICAO Codes
IATA codes are assigned by the International Air Transport Association, the trade association representing the world's airlines. These three-letter codes appear everywhere in the passenger experience — on tickets, departure boards, and luggage tags. ICAO codes are assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations specialized agency. These four-letter codes are used in official aviation operations, including flight plans, meteorological reports, and air traffic control communications.
Understanding the difference between these two systems is useful for anyone working in travel or aviation. Our airport profiles display both codes side by side, along with all relevant technical and location data.
