Question 1

How does 'Near Me' find airports?

Accepted Answer

When you allow location access, your browser shares your coordinates with the page. We then calculate the straight-line distance to every airport in our directory and show you the closest results, sorted from nearest to farthest.

Question 2

What if I don't want to share my location?

Accepted Answer

No problem. You can skip the location prompt and search for airports by ICAO code, city, state, or airport name instead. Visit our search page for the full search experience with filters.

Question 3

How accurate are the airport distances?

Accepted Answer

Distances shown are straight-line (as the crow flies) calculations between your location and each airport. Actual driving distance may be slightly longer depending on road routes. For driving directions, click through to any airport's detail page.

Question 4

Can I filter nearby airports by type?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the filter buttons to narrow results by airport type (large, medium, small, heliport), features (towered, METAR, TAF), fuel types, and services. Filters apply to both nearby and search results.
