Open data

Open data from FlightLogic

Two datasets power this site — and both are open. Download our editorial airline scores under a permissive licence, and reuse the airport reference data behind our directory profiles and tools.

Quick Answer

FlightLogic publishes two open datasets. Our editorial airline scores — overall ratings plus six category scores for 28 airlines — are free to download as CSV under a CC BY 4.0 licence (credit FlightLogic). Our airport directory reference data is derived from OurAirports, a public-domain dataset covering more than 72,000 airfields worldwide, which powers the airport profiles and tools across this site.

1. FlightLogic airline scores — CC BY 4.0

Our editorial ratings for 28 airlines — overall score, safety score, star rating and six category scores — as a single CSV. Free to use, adapt and redistribute, including commercially, with attribution.

2. Airport reference data — OurAirports (public domain)

Every airport directory profile on FlightLogic — more than 72,000 airfields under /airports/<code-or-name>/ — is rendered from OurAirports, a community-maintained dataset released into the public domain. It covers names, IATA/ICAO codes, coordinates, elevations and runway details for airports, heliports, seaplane bases and more.

FlightLogic does not re-host the raw dump. Download the source CSVs (airports.csv, runways.csv and related tables) directly from the maintainer's OurAirports data mirror on GitHub or ourairports.com/data — both refreshed regularly.

Because the data is public domain you may reuse it without permission or attribution — though crediting “OurAirports (ourairports.com)” keeps the project visible, and we do so on every directory profile we render. Our airports near me tool and airport directory search are built on the same dataset.

Open data FAQ

Can I use FlightLogic airline scores commercially?

Yes. The scores CSV is published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0), which permits commercial use, redistribution and adaptation — provided you credit FlightLogic and link back to flightlogic.co.uk/open-data. See “How to cite” above for ready-made attribution lines.

How often is the scores dataset updated?

The CSV reflects the current scoring period (Q3 2026). FlightLogic re-reviews airline scores quarterly; historical snapshots are kept internally, and the lastUpdated column always tells you which period a row reflects.

Is the airport data FlightLogic’s own?

No. Airport names, codes, coordinates, elevations and runway details come from OurAirports (ourairports.com), a community-maintained public-domain dataset. FlightLogic derives its airport directory profiles and proximity tools from it but adds no proprietary data to the raw reference fields — always confirm operational details with the airport or your airline.

Where can I get the raw airport data?

Direct from the maintainer: the OurAirports data mirror on GitHub (github.com/davidmegginson/ourairports-data) publishes airports.csv, runways.csv and related tables, refreshed regularly. FlightLogic does not re-host the raw dump; we publish only the derived shards that power this site.
