Provider package apache-airflow-providers-common-compat for Apache Airflow
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building or maintaining Airflow code that needs to work across multiple Airflow versions. The package is actively maintained, carries no known vulnerabilities, and has low install friction. Install it only if you have a specific cross-version compatibility need; it is not required for single-version Airflow deployments.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires apache-airflow >=2.11.0 and Python >=3.10
- Low install friction; released 6 days ago with active maintenance.
- Requires apache-airflow >=2.11.0 and asgiref with version-dependent constraints.

What it is and what it does
This is an Apache Airflow provider package that supplies compatibility code to bridge differences between Airflow versions. It abstracts away version-specific API changes so that code written for one Airflow release can work across multiple versions without modification. The package is maintained as part of the main Airflow project and is designed to be installed alongside an existing Airflow installation (2.11.0 or later).
The package supports Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14, and depends on apache-airflow and asgiref with version constraints that vary by Python version. It includes optional dependencies for openlineage and standard providers if you need those integrations. The package is actively maintained with recent releases and carries no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Maintain Airflow DAG code that runs on multiple Airflow versions without conditional logic
- Migrate DAGs gradually between Airflow versions while keeping a single codebase
- Build Airflow plugins or operators that need to support a range of Airflow releases
- Abstract version-specific API calls in custom Airflow extensions
