Aviation

The airports.
The carriers.

Commercial aviation in North America — major airports in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, sourced from the FAA, Transport Canada, and AFAC. The carriers, aircraft, and routes that fly between them are next.

Airports

Major airports in the US, Canada, and Mexico — every FAA Large and Medium hub, the National Airports System in Canada, and the GAP / ASUR / OMA concessionaire airports plus AICM and AIFA. IATA / ICAO codes, runways, terminals, latest passenger volume, the carriers that fly there, and live weather. Public-domain reference data from the FAA NASR, FAA ACAIS, Transport Canada, and AFAC.

Airlines

Passenger and cargo carriers headquartered in the US, Canada, and Mexico — mainlines, low-cost carriers, ultra-low-cost carriers, regionals, and the major all-cargo operators. IATA / ICAO codes, alliance, headquarters, executives, fleet composition, hubs, and loyalty program. Reference data from each carrier's IR page, US DOT BTS Form 41, SEC filings, Statistics Canada, and AFAC.

Aircraft registry

Tail-number lookup across the FAA Aircraft Registry, Transport Canada CCAR, and AFAC RANT. Paste an N-number (US), C-FXXX or C-GXXX (Canada), or XA / XB prefix mark (Mexico) and get the aircraft's owner, type, manufacture year, registration status, and any short note worth surfacing. Public-domain civil registry data; no ads, no fluff.

Safety

Recent commercial-aviation accidents and serious incidents in North America — Part 121, Part 135, and Part 91 corporate operators. Sourced from the NTSB, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, and AFAC. Sortable, filterable, with primary-source links to the official reports. No editorializing, no rankings, no clickbait.

On-time performance

On-time arrival rates for the major US airlines and the 30 busiest US airports, drawn from the US Department of Transportation. Sortable per-airline and per-airport tables for the most recent full calendar year, the prior year, and the most recent system-wide year-to-date totals. A flight is “on time” if it arrives fewer than 15 minutes after its scheduled gate arrival. No ads, no fluff.

Pilot mentoring

The federal mandate that requires every US Part 121 air carrier to run a formal pilot mentoring program — the post-Colgan statute, the FAA's Pilot Professional Development final rule, the codified CFR sections, the implementing advisory circulars, and how the obligation is split in practice between the airline (which holds the regulatory exposure) and the pilots' union (which usually carries the relationship layer through a joint Professional Development Committee).
