Airport Info Popup for Your Site

I just realized that when I put up the direct linking blog post last summer, I forgot to tell you about another little popup feature I created for YOUR websites. It's a small popup screen with basic airport info. This will keep visitors on your site and if they want more info they can just click a link.

So here is how it all works.

MINI POPUP
http://AirportGuide.com/search-mini/XXXX
where XXXX is any 3 or 4 letter airport id (ICAO, FAA, or IATA)

To link to John F Kennedy airport in New York use the following:
http://AirportGuide.com/search-mini/KJFK

If you are at a smaller airport with only three letters as the identifier such as Hendersonville, North Carolina’s 0A7 just type the following:
http://AirportGuide.com/search-mini/0A7

Flight Arrivals and Departures Added

At the top right of all airport pages there are two buttons

and

Each of these will allow you to view ALL aircraft arriving or departing from an airport. This, of course, has some restrictions as it is only valid for public use airports AND the aircraft will have had to have filed a flight plan so they are being tracked. For anyone leaving to catch a flight or picking someone up from the airport, this will have everything you should need.

ENJOY!

Flight Status Added

You can now check your airline flight status by Airline Name and Flight Number or by Departure and Arrival Airports. Just click on the Flight Tracker link in the Navigation Menu.

International Airports Now Online

After many months scrubbing data, I am finally confident enough to put the international airports online alongside the US data. There is not as much information out there for the international community so bear with me as the airport pages are modified and tweaked over the coming months.

If you have a good source of data for any international area such as the UK or France, I would be more than willing to talk about an arrangement to get this data supplied on an ongoing basis.

If you see any issues with the data please let me know. Otherwise, enjoy!

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.

Airmen Database

You can now search for all domestic and foreign airmen registered with the FAA by clicking on the Airmen Search link in the navigation bar. This database will be updated monthly.
