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
- airports with ICAO code
- airports with IATA code
- airports without IATA/ICAO code
- runways with missing reference --Mstr (talk) (talk) 01:25, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- 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.
