airporttime
convert local time to utc time by airport or vise-versa.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you have a specific need for a frozen snapshot of airport timezone data and can accept no maintenance. The package is abandoned, its license is unclear, and the underlying data has not been updated since 2018. For active projects, consider using a maintained timezone library (pytz or zoneinfo) combined with a current airport database, or a live travel API.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (pytz and requests).
- However, the package is abandoned—last release and commit were in 2018, with no activity since.
- Use only if you need a static snapshot of airport timezone data and can tolerate no maintenance.

pip install airporttime

What it is and what it does
airporttime is a lightweight timezone converter that maps IATA airport codes to their timezones and handles bidirectional conversion between local and UTC times. It wraps timezone data from opentraveldata and uses pytz to manage timezone-aware datetime objects, including daylight saving time adjustments.
The package is designed for scenarios where you have a naive local datetime at a specific airport and need to convert it to UTC, or vice versa. It also exposes the underlying airport metadata (name, coordinates, country, timezone offsets) as attributes on the AirportTime object. However, the package has been abandoned since its initial release in December 2018, with no updates to the underlying data or code since then.
Use it for
- Convert flight arrival/departure times from local airport time to UTC for scheduling or logging.
- Look up timezone and geographic metadata for an airport given only its IATA code.
- Handle daylight saving time transitions when working with airport-local datetime objects.
- Build a simple timezone reference tool for travel or logistics applications using static airport data.
