As of January 2017, the OpenFlights Airports Database contains **over 10,000** airports, train stations and ferry terminals spanning the globe, as shown in the map above. Each entry contains the following information:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Airport ID | Unique OpenFlights identifier for this airport. |
| Name | Name of airport. May or may not contain the **City** name. |
| City | Main city served by airport. May be spelled differently from **Name**. |
| Country | Country or territory where airport is located. See [Countries](https://openflights.org/data.html#country) to cross-reference to ISO 3166-1 codes. |
| IATA | 3-letter IATA code. Null if not assigned/unknown. |
| ICAO | 4-letter ICAO code.<br>Null if not assigned. |
| Latitude | Decimal degrees, usually to six significant digits. Negative is South, positive is North. |
| Longitude | Decimal degrees, usually to six significant digits. Negative is West, positive is East. |
| Altitude | In feet. |
| Timezone | Hours offset from UTC. Fractional hours are expressed as decimals, eg. India is 5.5. |
| DST | Daylight savings time. One of E (Europe), A (US/Canada), S (South America), O (Australia), Z (New Zealand), N (None) or U (Unknown). *See also: [Help: Time](https://openflights.org/help/time.html)* |
| Tz database time zone | Timezone in ["tz" (Olson) format](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database), eg. "America/Los\_Angeles". |
| Type | Type of the airport. Value "airport" for air terminals, "station" for train stations, "port" for ferry terminals and "unknown" if not known. *In airports.csv, only type=airport is included.* |
| Source | Source of this data. "OurAirports" for data sourced from [OurAirports](http://ourairports.com/data/), "Legacy" for old data not matched to OurAirports (mostly DAFIF), "User" for unverified user contributions. *In airports.csv, only source=OurAirports is included.* |

The data is UTF-8 encoded.

*Note*: Rules for daylight savings time change from year to year and from country to country. The current data is an approximation for 2009, built on a country level. Most airports in DST-less regions in countries that generally observe DST (eg. AL, HI in the USA, NT, QL in Australia, parts of Canada) are marked incorrectly.
