Why this one

The open dataset almost every airport API is built on has no timezone field. So they can tell you where an airport is, but not what time it is there — and certainly not what local time you land at after crossing eight zones, a date line and a daylight saving change. This one resolves the timezone for every airport and answers both.

It also knows runway lengths and surfaces, which turns “airports near here” into the question people actually ask: which fields near here can take my aircraft.
