Sources and method
Durable access facts come from operator and tourism-authority information. Journey times, transfers and prices are calculated by Routavio's route engine from operator timetables and flight data and refreshed nightly. An airport marked "not verified" is geographically plausible but Routavio has not yet confirmed a public-transport route from it.
Routavio lists an airport when the ground leg from it is within 300 km in a straight line, the limit it uses for a last-mile transfer.
