Airports APIs
Airport APIs cover two needs: reference data about airports, and live boards from specific ones. API Ninjas Airports returns codes, runways, time zones and nearest-airport lookups for airfields worldwide, and AirLabs looks up airports and airlines by IATA or ICAO code. Schiphol and Swedavia serve real-time arrivals and departures for Amsterdam and Swedish airports, Swedavia with facility information too.
