airports
========

Simple API for getting basic airports info, like city and country. Mostly
for learning and demo purposes.

TL;DR

Check out . API is provided without any
guarantees of anything, but I suppose I'll keep it running while it doesn't
get too messy. Please, do not abuse this instance.

At the moment there is no authentication or rate limiting, and I want to keep
it that way.

Background (a little)

There are two most common types of airport identifier: IATA code and ICAO code.
IATA code is the three-letter one on the luggage, like DME or JFK. ICAO code
consists of 4 characters, like UUDD or KFJK.
