Open data

Open data from FlightLogic

Several 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 four open CSV datasets covering its 28 rated airlines — editorial scores, baggage allowances and fees, frequent-flyer programmes, and cabin-bag size limits — all free under a CC BY 4.0 licence, credit FlightLogic. Airport reference data is public domain via OurAirports.

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.

lastUpdated string Scoring period the row reflects (currently Q3 2026). Scores are re-reviewed quarterly.

2. Airline policy tables — CC BY 4.0

The same reference tables that power our comparison pages, as CSV. One row per rated airline, regenerated on every deploy from the source that renders the site, with a lastVerified column so you can see how current a row is.

These carry free-text fields containing commas, so they are RFC 4180 quoted — use a real CSV parser rather than splitting on commas. Same CC BY 4.0 terms as the scores above.

3. Airport reference data — OurAirports (public domain)

Every airport directory profile on FlightLogic — 4,168 active commercial airports with scheduled passenger service under /airports/<code-or-name>/ — is rendered from a filtered slice of OurAirports, a community-maintained dataset released into the public domain. FlightLogic keeps large, medium and small aerodromes with scheduled_service=yes; closed fields, heliports and seaplane bases are not hosted.

That scale sits alongside the industry benchmark published by the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG): about 4,072 airports with scheduled commercial flights worldwide (ATAG facts & figures). Counts differ by vintage and definition — FlightLogic’s figure is regenerated from OurAirports on each ingest — but both describe the commercial scheduled network, not every helipad or private strip.

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 directory A–Z 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 hosts only the active commercial subset with scheduled passenger service (large, medium and small aerodromes) — the same class of network ATAG summarises at about 4,072 scheduled commercial airports worldwide. We add 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.
