About Airports Near
Our Mission
Airports Near was created to solve a common problem for travelers: finding the most convenient airport for your destination. While many travel sites show you flight options, they rarely help you understand which airport is actually closest or most convenient to your final destination.
Our mission is to provide clear, actionable information about airports near any city worldwide, helping travelers make informed decisions about their journeys.
How It Works
When you search for a city, our airport finder:
- Finds your city from our database of cities worldwide with a population over 1,000.
- Locates all airports within 200km of your selected city center.
- Calculates the distance between each airport and your city using precise geographic formulas.
- Estimates travel time based on realistic assumptions about urban and highway travel speeds.
- Identifies the "recommended" airport by prioritizing international airports (those with an IATA code) over regional or domestic airports, even if an international airport is slightly farther from the city center.
Limitations
While we strive for accuracy, there are some limitations to our service:
- Travel time estimates are approximations and don't account for traffic conditions, time of day, or specific transportation options available in each city.
- Some very small airports may not be included in our database, particularly private airfields or very new facilities.
- Our "recommended" airport algorithm is based on general principles and may not account for all factors that could influence your choice, such as airlines serving each airport or specific terminal locations.
