OurAirports.mobi released for mobile devices

OurAirports releases ourairports.mobi, a mobile edition of the popular community airport directory, including over 40,000 world airports with visitor comments, geographical search, and live weather.
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PR Log (Press Release)Jul 30, 2009 – OurAirports, the free, community-edited world airport directory, now delivers live airport information and visitor comments to mobile devices such as cell phones, the Blackberry, and the iPhone.

ourairports.mobi is a new version of the online directory optimized for small screens and low bandwidth. The mobile site provides both passengers and pilots with access to information about over 40,000 world airports, updated every few minutes.

According to OurAirports founder David Megginson, the site's goal is to bring all the information different groups need together in one place. "Some aviation sites are designed for general aviation pilots, focussing on only one country's airports. Others are designed for airline travellers, focussing on only a few hundred of the world's largest airports. OurAirports serves both groups, covering everything from busy hubs to little grass airstrips, letting visitors share their experiences and even update and add airports."

Like Wikipedia, OurAirports is community edited. Members from around the world add and update airport information, and comment on their travelling experiences for the benefit of other visitors.

Features:

• the ability to search for the closest airports to any city or address, or to look up airports by code

• pilot and passenger comments about airports

• live aviation weather reports and forecasts for airports around the world, updated every few minutes

• filters to show only airports with scheduled airline service, or only seaplane bases

• lists of the closest alternates to every airport

OurAirports is a community-based airport directory founded in 2007 by David Megginson, a Canadian IT consultant and amateur pilot, to serve both airline travellers and general aviation. The site has nearly 1,000 members, who actively comment on airports and add and edit airport information: OurAirports members have personally visited nearly 6,000 of the airports listed. The data collected on the site is freely downloadable for reuse in other projects.
