Best Answer
One WebService I found is airports.pidgets.com
This is an example:
XML format http://airports.pidgets.com/v1/airports?near=45.3515,9.3753
JSon format http://airports.pidgets.com/v1/airports?near=45.3515,9.3753&format=json
[Edit] Found another webservice on aviationweather.gov (only XML and CSV)
http://aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?dataSource=stations&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&radialDistance=20;9.3753,45.3515
From both sites you can download a "static" airports list, to perform offline search.
