Airport & Runway API: Detailed Data for Efficient Flight Operations

Our Airport & Runway API offer flexible integration and a wide variety of data properties, for the most complex analysis and manipulation of Airport and Runway data. Runway information is coded with high accuracy and level of detail for the majority of Aerodromes worldwide. Additionally, larger worldwide hubs have extended properties such as takeoff intersections, lighting and apron / gate information.

Navigation Data for more than 35,000 Aerodromes Worldwide

No matter which aviation or air-transport solution you are currently using or working on, Airport & Runway API offers you navigational data for various systems and applications.

Highest quality data derived from our EASA-certified Lido FMS

The data is updated according to the AIRAC cycle and is in line with ARINC 424 and various other industry standards, such as the RTCA DO-200 and DO-201.

Lido Quality Guaranteed

Our data has been widely used in the aviation industry for more than 20 years. It can support you in the automation and digitalization of your labor-intense and potentially error-prone existing manual processes.

For all types of industries: Airport and Runway data can be used for a variety of systems and applications

Get Runway Information by Aerodrome Identifier

Lookup by Airport Identifier

This endpoint allows retrieval of runway objects by Aerodrome Identifier, which can be ICAO or IATA code (if available). Additional filters are available for AIRAC-cycle filtering and for the inclusion of geometric metadata.

The underlying base data is the same that powers our Charting Solutions and Lido Pilot Application Solutions as well as Lido FMS. Data is officially sourced from Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP) and other state-issued documents. With this, we can guarantee the highest level of accuracy and correctness of the data, whist ensuring compliance with official aeronautical information.

Runway, Helipad, you name it!

The Airport & Runway API is not limited to the major worldwide hubs and big aerodromes. Sourced from Lido FMS data, we ensure the highest coverage possible for Aerodromes, Heliports, Seaplane base and Glider-ports, if they are officially published landing facilities (natural or man-made). We have more than 20.000 published aerodromes available in our database, and counting...

Combined Airport & Runway Details Endpoint

This endpoint allows querying of the complete attribute information for a specified landing facility.

An extensive number of properties is available, including the Aerodrome general information, reference point, runway general information and threshold-specific properties and geometry (if applicable) in a standard geoJson format, read out-of-the-box by most online parsers. Friendly OpenAPI 3.0 (Swagger) combined with simple Json and geoJson formats allow an easy, intuitive integration with your desired application.
