Airports Workflow ✈️ for Alfred 3
A workflow for Alfred 3 that provides quick access to information about all airports in the world.
The latest version can be found here as well:
Download the latest version of the airports.alfredworkflow from the Releases page and double click the downloaded file to install it.
The workflow supports automatic updates and will perform daily update checks!
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 |
Since version 0.1.4, you can search for ICAO codes as well!
