Why we built this
Most reference sites about US airports fall into one of two camps: enormous flight-tracker apps that bury the basics under live maps and ads, or single-page Wikipedia entries that mix tourist trivia with operational detail. Neither is well suited to the moment when a traveler simply wants to confirm "what is the IATA code for the airport in this city?" or "are there scheduled flights into that regional field?". AirportIQ HQ exists to answer those questions cleanly, on a page that loads quickly and presents the same fact table for every airport in the country.
Editorial principles
We index airports, not airline marketing campaigns. Our entries are derived from the OurAirports public CSV, which aggregates FAA Form 5010 / NASR records and carries ICAO and IATA designator columns. We do not edit those records to make any airport look bigger or smaller than it is.
For airlines, we maintain a curated profile based on the public list of US-certificated carriers. We record the IATA and ICAO designators and, where the OpenFlights airline data file carries one, the radio callsign that ATC uses to address the crew and the carrier's country. We do not editorialize about safety records, labor disputes, or financial positions, those topics deserve specialist coverage that this site is not equipped to deliver.
What this site is not
AirportIQ HQ is not a flight-status tracker. We do not show live aircraft positions, gate assignments, or arrival times. For that information, consult the airline's website or a dedicated tracker such as the FAA's own status pages. AirportIQ HQ is also not affiliated with the FAA, with any airport authority, or with any airline. The use of an airline name on this site is purely for reference.
Updates & corrections
The data behind this site is rebuilt from source on a periodic cadence. If you spot a factual error, a wrong code, a missing airport, an out-of-date code, please reach out via the contact page. Aviation data changes constantly, and reader-flagged corrections are the fastest path to keeping the directory honest.
In September 2026 the traffic estimates, runway details, airline lists, parking, ground transport, TSA guidance and traveler tips were removed from every airport page. They had been generated from a template rather than recorded from any source, and 15,558 of these 16,204 airports have no scheduled passenger service at all. What remains is the reference data published by OurAirports - name, location, codes, class, coordinates, elevation and whether the airport has scheduled service - with a link to the airport's own site where one is recorded.
