1. Do a search on the ICAO Airport Code, IATA Airport Code, FAA LID, and TC LID as appropriate; the article may already exist under another name.

   Note: for smaller domestic-only airports there may be few or no codes assigned.

2. Create the article using the correct name and using the content and structure identified by the project.
3. Include the {{Infobox Airport}} template at the top of the article and complete all available information.
4. For US airports, include the {{US-airport}} template for automatic inclusion of links from airport-related sites.
5. Categorize the article correctly.
6. Add links from the article for the main city that it serves and the city or cities the airport is actually located in or nearest to, so as not to create an orphan. An {{airport codes}} template can be included in these non-airport articles, but should not be included in airport articles; it duplicates information in the {{Infobox Airport}} template.
7. Create redirect articles for the ICAO and IATA Codes.
8. Check that the new airport name is listed in all appropriate sub-lists of the List of Airports.
9. Create a talk page for the article including {{WikiProject Aviation|Airports-project=yes}}

• WikiProject Aircraft
• WikiProject Airlines
• WikiProject Gliding

• AOPA Airport Advocacy Resources A good reference for those trying to understand the thorny issues.
• AOPA Airport Directory
• AirNav: Airports -- US site, based largely on the FAA's A/FD data (although revisions may take longer than 56 days to appear).
• Airport-Data.com
• Airportdata.com
• The Airport Guide good source for airport information and can help with finding official sites for airports.
• IATA Airline and Airport Code Search official IATA source
• World Airport Codes at U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics
• World Airport Codes another IATA code source but poor for coordinates and elevation
• Falling Rain Software, Ltd. Global Gazetteer Version 2.3 good source for information, sometimes has both ICAO & IATA codes. Pick a country and then scroll down to the airports in that country.
• COPA Community and Airports in Canada. See Canadian Community Airports Profile.
• FAA Airport Data and Information Portal -- pretty self-explanatory but a bit cumbersome to use.
• FAA Airport/Facility Directory
• FAA Airports home page
• ICAO Links to CAAs worldwide (ICAO official).
• OurAirports.com database of 78,000+ airports.
• Serbia Has several airports with basic information. Not sure how current the information is.
• VATSIM – Docs and Pilot Basics an odd one as it's a FlightSim site. It has external links to sites that have charts/AIPs of various aerodromes world wide.

If using these it's best to turn off any adblockers that are running, especially if they block based on the letters "AD" appearing next to each other.
