Unfortunately, removing the ANACA codes makes it very difficult to find direct neighbors, which should be responsible for 85 % of the flights. Here are some overpass links to check the intl. references of airports

Consolidating references to only use the 3-letter code was decided upon about a year ago in this forum thread. –TheMayor (talk) 02:26, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for your answer.--Mstr (talk) (talk) 15:15, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Here is a list of all airports with their airport codes--Mstr (talk) (talk) 00:13, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
---list deleted---

This list doesn’t include airports that don’t have the 4-character code, which is no longer necessary. Additionally, I think there’s value in having a more curated list to filter out non-canon areas and the plethora of airports in blue territories that shouldn’t be considered part of the global aviation network. -TheMayor (talk) 01:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
I agree. Overpass can be very powerful, but as a blanket for things like this, it creates a lot of noise of things either non-canon or of dubious canonicity. We already push the limits a bit more with the territorial index pages, but those require nonstandard, OGF-specific tags to appear. — Alessa (talk) 04:08, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Okay, now it shows all "IATA"-codes... it's rather a tool to look up all existing codes (where they are and how they are mapped)--Mstr (talk) (talk) 19:36, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Data Reformatting

I was wondering if I could re-format and add a column for Index:Airports.

Primary City:

- A slash (/) separator for multiple Primary cities

- Full names for states

Airport Name:

- English Name (Native name/s) or just Native Name if English isn't provided

Runway orientation and length:

- A diesis (‡) to provide comments about that particular runway

(New column) Time:

- UTC Time for that airport

- Time UTC+XX:00 (optional DST: UTC+XX:00)


I can fix these upon permission.

Thanks --Joebro (talk) 23:59, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Is there a way to incorporate the data (runways, ...) directly from the map (overpass)? An additional column to indicate the region/continent would also be helpful. In the past the ANACA-code has served for this purpose.--Mstr (talk) (talk) 01:01, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
