Airportdata.com is a complete information source for airport, ground handling and related service company data. The addition of flight clearance contact information, an airline database and many useful tools makes this an invaluable asset for many airline departments, especially flight operations.

Airportdata.com has been compiled with the input of experienced pilots and dispatchers and is updated through a continuous process of update reports received directly from airports and handlers, as well as regular operator feedback. The aim is to provide you with the most accurate, complete and relevant data to assist in your pre-flight planning and dispatch operations.

The origins of Airportdata.com stretch back many years. In the early-1980s, AC-U-KWIK began as a directory for business and general aviation pilots. The addition of an International edition in 1998 took the publication to a global audience and it soon became the leading publication for airport contact data. The publishers of the International edition, HighLine, also collected much more data than could be accommodated in AC-U-KWIK. Demand for this additional information, especially from commercial passenger and cargo airlines (both scheduled and charter), led to the launch of airportdata.aero in 2011.

In 2012, HighLine was purchased by Penton Media Inc. and airportdata.aero was brought into the Penton Aviation Group. Close ties were formed with the leading airline magazine, Air Transport World (ATW) and the service was rebranded as Airportdata.com. Shortly after, Penton acquired Aviation Week and all the company's aviation publications, including Airportdata.com, were grouped together as the Aviation Week Network.

In 2016, Penton Media Inc. was acquired by the Informa Group and the Aviation Week Network formed part of the Informa Markets division. In 2026, Aviation Week Network became Aviation Week by Informa, to reflect its position as part of Informa, a global leader in events, digital products, market intelligence, and academic research.
