Alfred Airports Workflow

https://github.com/otherguy/alfred-airports-workflow

 

Get information about any airport in the world. Search by IATA code, country, city, etc.

 

When hitting ⏎ Return on a selected item, the workflow tries to be helpful by opening either the airports website or its Wikipedia page if it has one. If it has neither a website nor an entry in Wikipedia, it opens the Apple Maps.app with the location of the airport.

 

When holding down a modifier key, the action can be specified:

 

Modifier	Action
⌥	Open the website of the selected airport.
ctrl	Open the Wikipedia page of the selected airport.
⌘	Show the airports location in Maps.app

Great workflow. Very useful - thanks!

[JonathanB]

Would it be possible to search by ICAO code too? e.g. EGLL - London Heathrow, LFPG - Paris Charles de Gaulle etc.

Yes  Version 0.1.4 supports ICAO codes as well!

[otherguy]

0.1.5 fixes an issue with the auto update. You will have to update manually to 0.1.5. 

[Guy Stan]

I have tried versions 0.1.4 and 0.1.5 and both don't work.Version 0.1.3 works. When I input anything after the keyword "airport", I get an error message.

 

I can't figure out why this is. Can you help?

 

Here is the log:

This seems VERY similar to my workflow:  https://github.com/jeeftor/alfredAirports

 

Feel free to check it out - may or may not have more features - such as runway configurations and frequencies.

@darkwinternight Why are you using unidecode? All your input is coming in via Alfred-Workflow, so it's guaranteed to be Unicode. unidecode is a massive library, and appears to be unnecessary.

Thank Jeff! Yep, I am now using your workflow. Works very well. Thank you!

Hey there, downloaded your workflow, but when I extract the zip i cannot find any workflow, just folders and documents... 

[deanishe]

@WalterBeiter, @jeffsui and @Guy Stan: Perhaps you should take the discussion of @jeffsui workflow to the appropriate thread.

[otherguy]

It's been a while but I just released version 0.1.6, hopefully fixing most bugs.

 

Thanks for the hint with unidecode @deanishe, I removed that dependency!

 

Unfortunately, since the GitHub username changed, this is a manual update: https://github.com/otherguy/alfred-airports-workflow/releases/tag/0.1.6

Love this tool, be on the lookout for a pull request soon! I don't know if you're a pilot or not, but as a pilot, I have some small lexical changes I'm going to make so the information is more uniform with other sources of information pilots are used to. 

 

I wouldn't be making edits if I didn't already love the project.
