Find Airports Near Any Location
Whether you’re planning a trip, researching flight options, or simply curious about nearby aviation facilities, our Airport Distance Calculator helps you discover every airport, heliport, and airfield within your chosen radius. Enter any address, city, or coordinates—or use your current location—and instantly see all aviation facilities sorted by distance.
The interactive tool below searches comprehensive aviation databases to find facilities within your specified radius. Results include international hubs, regional airports, small airfields, heliports, and even closed facilities—giving you a complete picture of aviation infrastructure in any area worldwide.
How to Use the Airport Finder
Getting started takes just a few seconds. Click the “Find Airports Near Me” button to use your current location, or search for any place by name or address. You can also click directly on the map to set your search center, or manually enter latitude and longitude coordinates for precise positioning.
Adjust the search radius using the slider—from 1 to 500 miles (or kilometers). Once you’ve set your location and radius, click “Find Airports” to see results. Every facility appears both on the interactive map and in a sortable list below, complete with distance, airport type, and ICAO codes.
Understanding the Results
Airports with scheduled commercial service are highlighted with a green marker on the map and a green indicator in the list. These are airports where you can book regular passenger flights. Use the filter button to show only airports with scheduled service if you’re specifically looking for commercial flight options.
Each airport entry includes its official ICAO code and links directly to detailed route information on AirportRoutes.com. Click “Map” next to any airport to center the map on that location, making it easy to explore specific facilities.

Click the “CSV Export” button to download a spreadsheet containing all found airports with their names, types, distances, coordinates, ICAO codes, and scheduled service status. This is particularly useful for travel planning, aviation research, or creating reference documents.
Types of Aviation Facilities
The calculator identifies several categories of aviation facilities. International airports typically handle overseas flights and major domestic routes. Regional airports serve smaller markets with connections to major hubs. Small airports and airfields cater to general aviation, private aircraft, and flight training. Heliports provide landing facilities specifically for helicopters, often located at hospitals, corporate campuses, or downtown areas.
Military airfields and closed facilities also appear in results, giving you a complete picture of aviation infrastructure in any area. Understanding what types of facilities exist nearby can be valuable for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, real estate decisions, or simply satisfying curiosity about local infrastructure.
Practical Applications
Travelers use this tool to compare driving distances to different airports when booking flights. Sometimes a slightly farther airport offers better routes, lower fares, or less congestion. Real estate buyers check proximity to airports—either seeking convenience or avoiding flight path noise. Pilots and aviation students research nearby airfields for training, fuel stops, or emergency landing options.
Business travelers planning multi-city trips can quickly assess airport availability in unfamiliar regions. Event planners hosting conferences or weddings use it to provide attendees with transportation options. Drone operators check for nearby airports to understand airspace restrictions. The applications are as varied as the people who need aviation facility information.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the distance calculation?
Distances are calculated using the Haversine formula, which measures the shortest path between two points on Earth’s surface (great-circle distance). This gives you accurate “as the crow flies” distances. Actual driving distances will be longer due to road routes, but the calculated distances provide reliable comparisons between airports.
What does “scheduled service” mean?
Airports marked with scheduled service operate regular commercial flights that passengers can book. These include major carriers and regional airlines with published timetables. Airports without scheduled service may still be active—they could serve private aviation, charter flights, cargo operations, or flight training—but don’t offer regular passenger routes you can book online.
Why is there a 500km maximum radius?
The search radius is capped at approximately 500 kilometers (310 miles) to ensure fast, reliable results. This range covers virtually any practical airport search scenario. If you need information about airports in a different region entirely, simply search for a location in that area rather than extending the radius from your current position.
Can I search for airports in other countries?
Yes, the tool works worldwide. Enter any city name, address, or coordinates anywhere on Earth. The database includes international airports, regional facilities, and smaller airfields across the globe. Airport data comes from comprehensive aviation databases that track facilities in virtually every country.
What do the ICAO codes mean?
ICAO codes are four-letter identifiers assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization to airports and airfields worldwide. Unlike the three-letter IATA codes you see on boarding passes (like JFK or LAX), ICAO codes are used in flight planning, air traffic control, and official aviation documentation. Clicking an airport’s link takes you to detailed route and facility information.
How current is the airport data?
Airport information is sourced from regularly updated aviation databases. While new facilities occasionally open and others close, the data reflects current operational status for the vast majority of airports. Scheduled service status is also kept current, so you can trust the green indicators when looking for commercial flight options.
Why isn’t my location working?
Location access requires your browser’s permission. If you declined the location prompt, you’ll need to reset permissions in your browser settings. Alternatively, simply search for your city or address, or click on the map to set your position manually. All three methods work equally well for finding nearby airports.
