@geoalgeria/aviation

Every civil airport in Algeria — as data you can install.

33 civil airports across Algeria — with official names, ICAO (OACI) codes, postal addresses, phone numbers, websites, GPS coordinates, and wilaya linkage. Sourced from ANAC (the Autorité Nationale de l'Aviation Civile), shipped as JSON, CSV, and GeoJSON. Part of GeoAlgeria.

npm install @geoalgeria/aviation

import aviation from "@geoalgeria/aviation";

const all = aviation.airports();                 // 33
const algiers = aviation.airportByIcao("DAAG");  // Houari Boumediene
const inOran = aviation.airportsByWilaya(31);     // airports in wilaya 31

// Everything has lat/lng — distance-sort, map, or nearest-airport in a few lines.

What you can build

• Nearest-airport lookups — coordinates on every record, ready for distance sorting.
• ICAO ↔ airport resolution — map flight-data ICAO codes to names, contacts, and location.
• Travel & logistics — match a wilaya or a point to its serving airport.
• Maps — drop-in GeoJSON point layer for the whole civil-airport network.

What's inside

| Dataset | Count | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Civil airports | 33 | official name, ICAO code, address, phone, website, coordinates |

Spanning 31 wilayas, every airport geocoded. wilaya_code is linked against the geoalgeria 69-wilaya model.

Formats

The npm package ships the JSON (importable directly):

import airports from "@geoalgeria/aviation/data/airports.json" with { type: "json" };
// or via CDN, no install:
// https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@geoalgeria/aviation/data/airports.json

The loaders and record shapes are fully typed — TypeScript definitions ship in the package:

import aviation, { type Airport } from "@geoalgeria/aviation";
const airports: Airport[] = aviation.airports();

CSV and GeoJSON are in the repo under data/ and bundled in every GitHub Release:

data/
  airports.json            # 33 airports (array)
  metadata.json            # source, counts, generated_at
  csv/airports.csv         # repo + Release bundle (not in npm tarball)
  geojson/airports.geojson # Point features (all 33 are geocoded)

Record shape

{
  "id": "daag",
  "name": "Aéroport d’Alger – Houari Boumediene",
  "icao": "DAAG",
  "iata": null,
  "address": "Alger BP 164 DAR EL BEIDA",
  "phone": "+21323199230",
  "website": "https://www.aeroportalger.dz/",
  "wilaya_code": "16",
  "lat": 36.69951171485545,
  "lng": 3.210846808533331,
  "source": "https://www.anac.dz/en/carte-des-aeroports-3/"
}

id is the ICAO code lowercased. icao always matches DA__. iata is null — ANAC publishes only ICAO codes (the slot is reserved for later enrichment). wilaya_code is zero-padded to two digits and joins GeoAlgeria's wilayas; a few records may have a null phone where ANAC lists none.

Need the administrative divisions too?

If you also need wilayas, dairas, and communes to join against, use the main geoalgeria package — it ships the full 69-wilaya division dataset that wilaya_code here links to. Use @geoalgeria/aviation when you only need airport data.

Source

Data comes from ANAC — Autorité Nationale de l'Aviation Civile, via the public airports map (https://www.anac.dz/en/carte-des-aeroports-3/). Run npm run fetch to regenerate every output from the live map; the build follows the map's iframe so an ANAC version bump doesn't break it, and it fails loudly if the airport count or ICAO format changes. wilaya_code is resolved by nearest commune centroid from the geoalgeria dataset (the flagship ships centroids, not boundary polygons).
