Introduction to OpenFlights

Introduction

Open Flights provides data on airports and airline networks around the world. Although it requires some preprocessing, network data of this quality is rare, so let’s appreciate and use it wisely. The real issue, however, is that it has been left unupdated on GitHub since 2020, so be cautious.

Requirements

There are no requirements and the data can be downloaded unlimitedly.

Data Example

airports.dat
routes.dat

They’re not in csv format but in dat extension, which requires some handling. Once that’s done, there’s no better free data on airline networks available.
