Details

Flight Tracker API Clients can connect to the flight tracking through the API key which gives direct access to all the live flight data. The flight tracker API allows clients to display within their applications or on their websites and other platforms, the actual tracking of flights including all their relevant information. This service is central to our aviation data and maintained constantly within our database. Since the data is live, the updates happen within short intervals of just a few minutes. Aviation Edge’s function is to gather and maintain the complete aviation data for our clients so that they can create the functional tools for their customers.

Sources and process The data of the flight tracking API is collected through ADS-B systems as well as the use of flight schedules to anticipate the location and fill in the gaps where needed. We also receive data from our aviation partners and combine all this to the central system for our clients.

Data included in the Flight Tracker API Geography: Location information such as latitude, longitude, altitude and direction. Speed: Vertical and horizontal speed of aircraft. Departure and arrival: IATA codes and ICAO codes of the departure and arrival location. Aircraft and flight: IATA and ICAO number of flight and registration number, ICAO code and ICAO24 code of aircraft. Airline: IATA code and ICAO code of airline. System information: Squawk, status and last updated.
