WorldAirports

world_airports is a lightweight ruby gem that allow you to get several information such as airport name, location, city and country based on an IATA code.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'world_airports'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install world_airports

Usage

require 'world_airports'
WorldAirports.iata("CGK")

The code above will return a class of WorldAirports::Airport, on which instance you can invoke these methods:

name
location
iata

city
country

ICAO is not guaranteed to be available for all the data, but other fields are.
