Not yet. This is on the to-do list, but I'm not entirely sure how I should go about it, because I think it's important that it is crystal clear to the user what they're looking at. Shrinking the font sizes a little would probably be a good start though...

I don't mean to be critical but ODY (Oudomxay, Laos) is incorrectly located on the map.:D The correct location for ODY is over 140 miles away from where it is shown at Latitude: 20°40'50"N (20.680550) Longitude: 101°59'50"E (101.997223).:p Other than that HUGE GLARING discrepancy, :p;):D It is totally awesome.

Fixed -- although 20.683 N, 101.994 E seems rather more accurate. Zoom in close enough with the NASA map, and you can see the runway now :p

Getting accurate airport and airline database has been one of the biggest headaches of this project, you can read all about it here. We're getting pretty good already, but corrections are still coming in at a steady clip...

Filtering airlines by alliance would be good.

This has been on my mental to-do list for a while, now it's on the official one as well. ARM already includes updated lists of alliance airline members, but I'll need to put on my thinking cap about how to best make this happen on the database level...
