Flightgear Airports is a (free) taxiway editor for FlightGear licensed under the GNU GPL. It is cross-platform, known to work on Windows but should work on all platforms supported by electron. The usage philosophy is not to be file centred, but airport centred.

Only airports with flights are shown. If you want to view another one it will be added when you type the full ICAO. World view When zoomed out you will see circles.
