Unfortunately openaip does not provide a working API. The one they have is somehow limited to 3459 items, which convers around 3 countries.
The only way to get reliable data is to login and download it manually. Which I am not yet sure is automatable since the website went down, but I will try afterwards.

Using openflights to import airports is working fine.
I got IP banned from OpenAIP for trying to reverse engineer the login process for my script, so don't do that.

Much airports :)
Is this per API a request of data for the map section? Have you compared to ourairports.

[Marilyth]

These airports get loaded from this csv file here
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpatokal/openflights/master/data/airports.dat
I haven't compared it to ourairports yet, but it would probably be preferable as their data is up to date.

[ReimarBauer]

ok, we should add a notice where the data gets used from in our NOTICE

https://github.com/Open-MSS/MSS/blob/develop/NOTICE

[Marilyth]

I added support for manually downloaded airbase files from openaip
I could not automate the process, and I believe automation is against their ToS or something.

All in all it is a lot of data I am not sure yet how to display.

[ReimarBauer]

the data has a share a like license.

We have to figure how scientific usage can be covered.
