About this tool
This free tool uses your device GPS plus OpenStreetMap data to surface every nearby airport, heliport, and aerodrome within your selected radius. No accounts. No app installs. No country lock. Coverage spans 190+ countries.
Whether you call it an airport, aerodrome, aeroport, flughafen, or aeropuerto, the tool searches the same global dataset. Each result shows the IATA code (3 letters used by airlines) and ICAO code (4 letters used by air traffic control) when available.
Filter types explained
- International: Airports with regular international passenger flights
- Regional: Mid-sized regional airports with domestic flights
- Private: Private aerodromes and general aviation airfields
- Heliports: Helicopter landing pads at hospitals, business districts, and emergency response sites
Tips for using IATA codes
IATA codes (like LAX, JFK, LHR) are used everywhere in air travel: booking sites, airline reservations, baggage tags, departure boards. Memorizing your home airport code saves time. ICAO codes (like KLAX, KJFK, EGLL) are used by pilots and air traffic control, with a regional prefix that identifies the country.
