Airy is a lunar impact crater located in the southern highlands. It is named in honour of British astronomer George Biddell Airy. It forms the southernmost member of a chain of craters consisting of Vogel, Argelander, and Airy. A little further to the south lies Donati. Airy has a worn, and somewhat polygonal rim that it broken at the northern and southern ends. It has a fractured floor and a central peak.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Airy.
