This is a dataset of airports. The data come from multiple sources, Our Airports, Open Flights and Dbpedia primarily.

It consists of a list of airports, together with their ICAO and IATA codes where applicable, as well as some location information and details about runways and similar where available.

The location information is expressed in terms of the Ordnance Survey's Spatial Relations vocabulary. You can see this for example, where an airport is said to be ossr:within a spatial region. This is different from the Airlines dataset which uses foaf:based_near because an airline cannot be said to be within a country in the usual sense of the word. there is also linkage to the World Geography dataset.

The data is primarily expressed in terms of the Flight vocabulary which should be seen as an add-on module to the Transit vocabulary. For compatibility with UK government published linked data, there is also some linkage to the NAPTAN vocabulary where applicable.
