International Airports Being Added

Ever since the United States government stopped releasing the DAFIF data to the public, it has been very hard to build a complete list of international airports. I apologize for the time it is taking to get the international airports up on AirportGuide.com but I want to let everyone know that each airport's codes are being verified prior to posting them on the site. There are over 10,000 airports outside of the FAA's jurisdiction so this will take a while but as I always say 'don't waste your time doing it if you don't plan on doing it right.'

To that end, as the international airports are released onto the site, I will be adding the links to the countries on the Browse Airports by Country page. Initially, the list of airports will not be complete for a country but you will be able to watch the list grow over time as I release more and more airports into the database.

If you have any questions about what I am doing, have suggestions on how to speed this process along, or just have a recommendation for the site, please feel free to contact me.
