Synopsis

This script introduces the following command into Irsssi:

/IATA <iata code>

to Irssi which looks up the given code and returns the corresponding airport name and location.
The Script is using different data sources and reports any hits.

Installation

Extract iata.tar.(gz|bz2) in your ~/.irssi/ directory.
Move the iata.pl into scripts/.
