About AirportRoutes.com

AirportRoutes.com was created by Andreas De Rosi, founder of the geography blog Mappr.co, to serve enthusiasts and professionals interested in travel geography and aviation. Built as a fork of the open-source OurAirports project, AirportRoutes extends that foundation with live flight data, weather insights, and integrations from both free and paid APIs. Its goal is to become the most comprehensive resource for airport information and air-route statistics and facts. This site is currently in beta, with ongoing feature updates planned.
