Map of Airports in the United States

Map of Airports in the United States

Project Description

This is an interactive web map that marks all the airports in the United States. The color of the airport icon indicates whether the airport has an air traffic control tower (ATCT). Red icon indicates that it has the ATCT and blue icon indicates that there is no ATCT. This map also divides the United States into each states and the color of each states indicates how many airports are there. Users can click on the airport icon to see each airport's name. The map can be accessed from here.
