Sources and methodology

Airport reference data

Airport names, codes, locations and types come from OurAirports (public domain). Our list holds airports that have an IATA code; heliports, closed airfields and airfields without an IATA code are not in it. “Scheduled service” means OurAirports marks the airport as having scheduled flights; it is not a check of today’s timetable.

flew.world calculations

Distances are great-circle (straight-line) distances between airport coordinates. The theoretical nonstop duration is distance ÷ 800 km/h + 30 minutes: it does not mean a direct flight exists, and it is not a timetable. Nearby airports are listed by straight-line distance, not by road.
