Airport Types Explained

Learn what airport type classifications mean and how different airports can be categorised.

Airport databases can classify airports using different types. These classifications help distinguish between different kinds of aviation facilities.

Why classify airports?

A classification can help users understand whether a facility is primarily associated with commercial passenger services, general aviation, cargo or other aviation activities.

Checking the airport type

Aeromonk displays the airport type available in its underlying airport information where that field is provided.

Classification systems can vary between datasets, so users should consult the relevant authority when a precise operational classification is required.
