This infobox template has been designed for use in articles relating to specific airports. Blank template (for copy and pasting)

{{Airport frame}}
 {{Airport title|name= |}}
 {{Airport image|airport_image= }}
 {{Airport infobox |
  IATA         =  |
  ICAO         =  |
  type         =  |
  run by       =  |
  closest town =  |
  elevation_ft =  |
  elevation_m  =  |
  coordinates  = {{coor dms||||N||||W|type:airport}}
 }}
 {{Runway title}}
 {{Runway|
  runway_angle    =  |
  runway_length_f =  |
  runway_length_m =  |

 }}
{{Airport end frame}}

Here is an example, from Heathrow, of how the infobox should be completed:

{{Airport frame}}
 {{Airport title|name=Heathrow Airport|}}
 {{Airport image|airport_image=heathrow.london.750pix.jpg}}
 {{Airport infobox |
  IATA         = LHR |
  ICAO         = EGLL |
  type         = public |
  run by       = [[BAA plc|BAA]] |
  closest town = London|
  elevation_ft = 80 |
  elevation_m  = 24 |
  coordinates  = {{coor dms|51|28|39|N|0|27|41|W|type:airport}}
 }}
 {{Runway title}}
 {{Runway|
  runway_angle    = 09L/27R |
  runway_length_f = 12,801 |
  runway_length_m = 3,902 |
  runway_surface  = Paved |
 }}
 {{Runway|
  runway_angle    = 09R/27L |
  runway_length_f = 12,001 |
  runway_length_m = 3,658 |
  runway_surface  = Paved |
 }}
 {{Runway|
  runway_angle    = 23 |
  runway_length_f = 5,551 |
  runway_length_m = 1,692 |
  runway_surface  = Paved |
 }}
{{Airport end frame}}

Template:Airport end frame Airport title: This would usually be the name of the article - the name of the airport.

Airport image: A link to a photograph of the aiport, or an image of the airport logo. This field is optional and should be commented out if no image is available:

<!--{{Airport image|airport_image=}}-->

IATA: The three character IATA airport code for the airport.

ICAO: The four character ICAO airport code for the airport.

type: One of "public", "private" or "military". Not "commercial", "general" or "civil"!

run by: Name of airport operator. This is not automatically turned into a link - in most cases the operator is not noteworthy enough for an article.

closest town: Name of the town or city the airport serves. In many cases an airport is associated with a major city but actually is closer to a smaller town, in this case list the major city. This field is automatically surrounded by square brackets, making it into a link.

elevation_ft: Height above mean sea level, in feet.

elevation_m:Height above mean sea level, in metres.

coordinates: Latitude and Longitude of airport, specified using the Template:Tl template.

Runway: There should be a runway section for each runway at the airport.

runway_angle: The designation of the runway, normally two numbers like this → 02/20, 1st number is 18 lower than the 2nd. Where there are parallel runways an additional letter is added to each number, for example "L" for left, "R" for right and "C" for center. In certain cases a runway will only have one number when it can only be used in one direction.

runway_length_f: Length in feet.

runway_length_m: Length in metres.

runway_surface: Surface type, for example "paved", "concrete", "asphalt", "grass", ...
