The airport-codes repository contains a list of airport codes from around the world, including IATA and ICAO codes. The data is sourced from multiple different sources and is updated nightly. The repository provides a script to process the data and merge location coordinates. The data can be used for various purposes such as passenger reservation, ticketing, and ATC systems.

README:

Description

The airport codes may refer to either IATA airport code, a three-letter code which is used in passenger reservation, ticketing and baggage-handling systems, or the ICAO airport code which is a four letter code used by ATC systems and for airports that do not have an IATA airport code (from wikipedia).

Airport codes from around the world. Downloaded from public domain source http://ourairports.com/data/ who compiled this data from multiple different sources. This data is updated nightly.
