Hi,

Where can I find an official glossary of the names of international airports (en_US > de_DE)?

Is there any EU glossary?

Thanks

Cheers,

On the German page, you'll find them classified by International and Regional.
These are not official glossaries, of course, but you may find all the names there, as well as links to related websites.
Colleagues may know better ressources.

Glossary Aug 10, 2024

I am looking for a glossary with names of airports worldwide, not for a list of airports in Germany. You didn't understand what I mean.

What are you asking exactly? Aug 10, 2024

You don't translate most airport names. London Heathrow in English is London Heathrow in German. Paris Charles de Gaulle is Paris Charles de Gaulle.

The only exceptions are cities that have different names in German, like Wien, Rom, and Prag. As a native German speaker, you should know these without looking them up in a glossary.

Look at the German IATA code page Aug 11, 2024

This substantially backs up Phil Goddard's suggestion, except that airports without the word "airport" (or local language equivalent) in their name are identified as "Flughafen (location), e.g., Regionalflughafen Alpena County.

I agree, that's also why I did "not understand the question". If in doubt, it could be a good idea asking at the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt or some Landesluftfahrtbehörde if such a list/glossary exists and/or what naming conventions they use.
