US Airports, Heliports & Seaplane Bases
U.S. · 18,981 locations
There are 18,981 Airports, Heliports & Seaplane Bases in the US as of October 2026. They are in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. Texas has the most, with 1,858.
All 18,981 open US aviation facilities from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource file, the authoritative federal source, refreshed on the FAA's 28-day publication cycle. The mix is 12,580 airports, 5,672 heliports, 560 seaplane bases and a tail of ultralight, glider and balloon fields.
More about this list
The fields that matter for qualifying are all here: the FAA and ICAO identifiers, public versus private use, ownership, the number of runways and the longest runway length, fuel types available, whether the field is towered, and surveyed coordinates on 100% of records. Only 5,013 are public-use, and 723 are towered, so the file lets you cut straight to the small set that matters for a given application. Buyers include aviation fuel networks, charter and fractional operators, ground support equipment makers, hangar and FBO developers, drone and airspace software, and emergency and air-ambulance planners who need heliports specifically.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?
No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the US Airports, Heliports & Seaplane Bases and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=airport-list with the filters you need and show you the count and price.
Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.
How assistants ask
No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.
If a question needs filtering, distance, drive time, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.
Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>
Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&drive=<minutes>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>
Leave out what the question does not need. Use radius for straight-line miles or drive for minutes of driving (5 to 60), not both; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.
Links an assistant can open, each showing how many rows match, a few preview rows and the price for just that part:

For developers
Every step below has a no-connector equivalent: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=airport-list with the same filters as query parameters.
- Connect your agent to
https://locationlists.com/mcp(no key, no signup). - Call
count_locationswithdataset: "airport-list"and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost. - Fetch the rows with
query_locations: $0.74 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 9,491 rows, buying the whole file is cheaper.
Paid in USDC over x402 — the agent gets an HTTP 402 with the exact price, signs, and retries. Money moves only after rows are delivered, so a failed or empty query costs nothing. Setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code
?Frequently Asked Questions
How many Airports, Heliports & Seaplane Bases are there in the US?
There are 18,981 Airports, Heliports & Seaplane Bases in the US as of October 2026. They are in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. Texas has the most, with 1,858.
Are private airstrips included?
Yes, and they are the majority: 13,867 of the facilities are privately owned, against 4,786 public and 313 military. The ownership and use columns let you filter to the 5,013 public-use facilities if that is what you need.
Why do some records have a PO box as the address?
Because the FAA's file has no airport street address field at all. The address, ZIP and phone come from the facility manager contact record, which is often a PO box or a municipal office. City, state and the surveyed latitude and longitude are the reliable location fields, and coordinates are present on every record.
Do you have fixed-base operators, the fuel and handling businesses?
That is a separate dataset and it is still being assembled. FBOs are the commercially interesting layer but no federal registry lists them, so they have to be gathered airport by airport against a rate-limited source. Ask us where it stands.
