This template generates an external link to the French Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) for a specific airport. These links change every 28 days and the template calculates the correct URL based on the current date.

Airports in France

Parameters:

  1. (unnamed) – airport's ICAO location indicator, i.e. LFMN
  2. name (optional) – airport's location, i.e. NICE CÔTE D'AZUR (location and bold print are as shown in the AIP). Most airports show two locations: the first is the city served, second is the city where the airport is located.

Technical information

The AIP is updated on a 28-day cycle as per the ICAO. For the online version of the French AIPs this causes a change in the URL involving four numbers: the first two represent the year (07 for 2007) and the second two represent the current cycle (01 through 13). This template uses the current date (presently 14 Jan 2026) to calculate the effective date and the matching four-digit cycle number. The following is a list of the current and upcoming cycle numbers and effective dates:

  • 2602 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2603 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2604 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2605 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2606 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2607 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2608 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2609 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2610 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2611 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2612 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2613 - effective Error: Invalid time.
  • 2701 - effective Error: Invalid time.

If this template stops working, the most likely reason is that the URL format has changed. To find the current format, go to the Aeronautical Information Publications page of the Service d'information aéronautique (SIA) website and view the AIP for an airport.
