brew install berkanktk/tap/aviation-cli

Usage

aviation aircraft "A350-900"
aviation search 737                 # every matching aircraft as a table
aviation distance CPH JFK
aviation airport CPH
aviation compare "A320neo" "737 MAX 8"
aviation range "787-9" --from CPH   # airports reachable nonstop from CPH
aviation manufacturers              # aircraft count by manufacturer
aviation stats                      # dataset overview: aircraft + airport counts

Aircraft lookups match by model name (e.g. "787-9"), full name (e.g. "BOEING 787-9 Dreamliner"), or ICAO type code (e.g. B789). Ambiguous queries list all matching aircraft instead of guessing, or you can run aviation search <query> for the same matches as a browsable table.

Airport lookups accept IATA (3-letter) or ICAO (4-letter) codes.

compare bolds+greens whichever aircraft wins each numeric row (capacity, range, cruise speed). Output overall is colorized on a real terminal and drops to plain text automatically when piped, redirected, or when NO_COLOR is set.
