Three ways to find any airport
Whether you have coordinates, an IP address, or just a name - SkyLink finds the right airport and returns full metadata.
Location Search
Search by latitude, longitude, and radius in nautical miles. Results sorted by distance, with bounding-box pre-filtering for fast performance across 74K airports.
IP Geolocation Search
Auto-geolocate any IPv4/IPv6 address and find the nearest airports. Perfect for "airports near you" features without the user typing anything.
Text Search
Relevance-scored fuzzy search across names, ICAO/IATA codes, cities, and countries. Exact-code matches and large-airport bonuses surface useful results.
Rich Metadata
Every result includes ICAO, IATA, name, city, country, coordinates, elevation, timezone, municipality, type (large/medium/small/heli), and distance from the query point.
Integration
Find airports in seconds
Pass coordinates and a radius - get back airports sorted by distance with full metadata, ready to display.
