RunwayFacts Maps the World’s Runways by Length, Height, and Country
A reference database comparing the physical dimensions, surfaces, elevations, and locations of more than 650 commercial aerodromes across 165 countries and territories.
Field notes
RunwayFacts organizes its reference material around physical airport attributes rather than passenger traffic or airline schedules. Its homepage exposes country counts, runway measurements in feet and metres, elevations, IATA codes, and a top-50 ranking structure; the United States is listed with 62 aerodromes and China with 55. The site also includes a methodology and provenance section and explicitly limits the material to research and comparison, not operational flight planning.
