const geojson = parser.toGeojson();The original OpenAIR format specification has multiple shortcomings to meet today's demand to reflect the various types of existing airspaces and provide additional metadata. To overcome these shortcomings, an extended OpenAIR format is introduced that has several new tags.
An optional tag that specifies a unique identifier string for each airspace, e.g. a UUID v4. The AI value must stay the same for each airspace throughout different versions if the file. The AI tag must be placed either before or directly after the AN tag. Placing the AI tag before the AN tag is preferred
A required tag that specifies the airspace type, e.g. "TMA", "CTR" or "TMZ". Unlike in the original format, the AC tag must now only be used to specify the airspace ICAO class. If airspace has no type, i.e. is only ICAO class, the AY should be set to UNCLASSIFIED. The AY tag must be placed directly after the AC tag.
An optional tag that specifies the frequency of a ground station that provides information on the defined airspace. The AF should be placed directly before or after the AG tag. The proposed best order is AF, then AG.
An optional tag that specifies the ground station name. May not be used without the AF tag. The AG must be placed directly before or after the AF tag. The proposed best order is AF, then AG.
To easily convert original OpenAIR to the extended format you can use our OpenAIR Fixer Tool. The tool will inject the required AI token for each airspace definition block that does not have it already. Additionally the tools takes care of tag order.

Options:
-f, --input-filepath <inFilepath> The input file path to the openAIR file.
-o, --output-filepath <outFilepath> The output filename of the generated geojson file.
-V, --validate If set to true, validates geometries. Defaults to true.
-F, --fix-geometry If set to true, tries to fix geometries. Note that this may change the original airspace geometry! Defaults to false.
-E, --extended-format If set to true, parser expects the extended OpenAIR format. Defaults to false.
