That is a very limited set of airports, there are thousands more than are listed there, e.g. the list for India is 132, Wikipedia lists 209. There are a large number of authorities who keep information on airports, the OP will need to collate information from all of them for the requested information (e.g. IATA creates the 3 letter airport codes, ICAO create 4 letter codes). The list of IATA codes A to D inclusive is over 1,900. IATA codes: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ International_Air_Transport_Association_airport_code> ICAO codes: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports_by_ICAO_code> The Nations Online project has a list of airports based on IATA code with additional information: <http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/airport_code.htm> Their sources are: - National Governments - National Ministries of Foreign Affairs - National Ministries of Trade - National Embassies - National Statistical Offices - National Tourism Offices and Tourism Boards - Official City Sites - Local Newspapers - NGO's working in a country There are any number of existing sites with incomplete lists, e.g.: <http://www.theairdb.com/index.html> <http://www.photius.com/wfb2001/airport_codes_alpha.html> <http://www.world-airport-codes.com/>. -- Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
