[Mapserver-users] Help using US National Atlas Data

[Joe Bussell]

The DAFIF disk set has shapefiles for the airports of the world. 
Perhaps, as an air travel firm you already have access to this public 
domain data.  The set is produced by the National Imagery and Mapping 
Agency.  DAFIF = Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File

We use this data for WARP, our aircraft routing planner.

Cordially,
