About

Apron is a web app for exploring every airport in the world with scheduled service — around 6,300 airports — through interactive maps, statistics and per-airport pages. The name comes from the airport apron, the area where aircraft are parked.

Travellers and airport enthusiasts can suggest edits to each airport's description and links. Submissions are reviewed by a moderator before publishing, and the full edit history is public on each airport page.
