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. 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.

The file has all 18,981 locations across 52 states in one download. Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there.

## Questions

### 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.

### How is this data cleaned?

Every rebuild runs the same steps and counts what each one changed. For the current file, rebuilt October 18, 2026 from nfdc.faa.gov: Merged 0 duplicate listings that had the same business name, street address and ZIP code, keeping every filled-in detail from both (October 18, 2026). Unified 263 city names written more than one way within the same ZIP code (for example with and without a space or an abbreviation) to the US Census Bureau spelling (October 18, 2026). Corrected 33 misspelled city names to the US Census Bureau place name for their ZIP code (October 18, 2026). Set the state on 2 listings to its two-letter US Postal Service code, matched to the US Census Bureau state register (or, for Canadian rows, the ISO province code) (October 18, 2026). Shortened 2,375 ZIP codes to the five-digit code every address filter expects, keeping the delivery-route segment in a column of its own (October 18, 2026). Added map coordinates to 0 listings that had none, from the US Census Bureau address geocoder or, where the street address could not be matched, the centre of the ZIP code (October 18, 2026). Set the county and its federal county code on 18,959 listings, matched to the US Census Bureau county list from the county the source records, the listing's map point, or its ZIP code area (October 18, 2026). Checked every map point against the state in its address and re-placed 38 points that fell outside that state (October 18, 2026). Flagged 3,766 addresses that are incomplete, a PO box, or missing a house number, in an address quality column (October 18, 2026). Checked that the row count, state count and field completeness published for this file were measured from the file itself (October 18, 2026).

### Isn't this free on nfdc.faa.gov?

The underlying records are public on nfdc.faa.gov. What you pay for is the work between that public release and this file: unified 263 city spellings, corrected 33 misspelled city names, standardised 2 state codes, shortened 2,375 ZIP codes, added the county to 18,959 listings, re-placed 38 misplaced map points, flagged 3,766 incomplete addresses and measured 18,981 rows, and a fresh rebuild every week. The current file was rebuilt October 18, 2026 from nfdc.faa.gov. Doing it yourself means downloading the full release, repeating each of those steps, and repeating them again every time the source updates.

### How complete is each field?

Measured on every row of the current file, the share of rows that carry each key field: phone 97%, street address 98%, city 100%, state 100%, ZIP code 98%, latitude 100%, longitude 100%. 22 of 26 columns are filled on at least half the rows.
