The latest expansion adds over 1,200 new airfields and 40,000 additional aircraft records into the master database, marking a major milestone in the company’s mission to streamline operations for pilots, FBOs, and airfield operators worldwide.

This massive update reinforces Smart PPR’s commitment to delivering the most comprehensive and up-to-date data set in the general aviation and business aviation sectors. By incorporating thousands of new airfield and airport sites and aircraft, users can now enjoy greater accuracy, improved planning efficiency, and expanded operational reach.

This update empowers users with unparalleled visibility and access to the aviation network.”

The addition of 1,200 new airfields includes both public and private locations along with grass strips and farm strips, future planned updates will include detailed metadata such as contact information, surface types, operational hours, and available services. On the aircraft side, the 40,000 new aircraft entries span a wide range of light aircraft models and operators, improving the accuracy of PPR requests and situational awareness for airfield managers.
