A comprehensive package offering a database of airlines and airports' names, based on their IATA designators and codes.
Airports & Airlines Data in Espanso
Description
The 'air-codes' package is a comprehensive resource for air transportation data, offering convenient access to:
- Properly formatted airport names and locations based on their IATA codes.
- Accurate airline names associated with their respective IATA 2-letter airline identifiers.
Examples
Airports Data
Using the :: trigger followed by an IATA 3-letter airport code and a question mark will reveal detailed information such as the full name, city, and IATA code of the airport. For instance, entering ::MXP? will provide Malpensa International Airport, Milan, IT (MXP), essentially answering the query "What are the details of the airport code MXP?".
Airlines Data
Similarly, using the :: trigger followed by an IATA 2-letter identifier and a question mark will provide the full name of the airline. For example, entering ::AF? will display Air France (AF), FR, answering the question "What are the details of the airline code AF?".
Data Sources
Airports Data
The airport information is sourced from ourairports.com, both from their general website (here) and directly from their data section (here). The dataset has been cleaned, enhanced, and curated (to some extend) to focus on 'large_airport' types to ensure a concise package without compromising vital details.
Airlines Data
The airline data is obtained from openflights.org (here). The dataset has been refined to include only the airlines with IATA designator codes, while excluding outdated or irrelevant information, ensuring a relevant dataset.
