What's New in Aviation Weather

1.2

November 2, 2026

New in 1.2: • Last airport widget (Pro): keep the airport you choose on your Home Screen. RunwayBrief can suggest it when you open the app at an airport. • Search from every tab, with a native iOS 26 design. • Wind calculator: results come first, and tailwinds are shown as tailwinds and counted in the rating. • Updated ICAO codes for about 770 airports, such as YSWS (Western Sydney International). Your saved airports update automatically. • Missing flight categories now show as unavailable instead of VFR. • A clearer subscription screen, VoiceOver weather summaries and many smaller fixes. RunwayBrief now requires iOS 26 or later.

User reviews

Great app

Great for checking airport alerts and having all the information I need handy.

Super polished. Easy to use

This is by far one of the best aviation apps I’ve tried. I’m only a few days in and I can’t believe what I’d been suffering through previously.

The design and ease of use make a huge difference when you’re in the air. Large text and easy to access buttons and the wealth of information is staggering.
