The whole flight,
one API.
Real-time flight status, 12-hour schedules, live NOTAMs, great-circle distance, and AI-powered pre-flight briefings - all through one unified aviation API.
What you get
Built for the whole flight lifecycle
From pushback to touchdown - status, schedules, notices, distance, and briefings in one consistent, real-time API.
Live status for any flight number - gate to gate, in real time.
Times, gate, terminal, and delay - one structured response.
Live flight status
Cryptic text becomes fields. Each ICAO item in a NOTAM maps to a named field — no regex, no parsing the Q-line yourself.
- Q)
- qline, q_code, affected_fir
- A)
- location
- B)
- effective
- C)
- expiration, or PERM
- D)
- schedule, when the notice is intermittent
- E)
- body — the notice text itself
- F) G)
- lower_limit, upper_limit
Items appear as filed. Many US domestic notices carry no Q-line at all.
Start free - 1,000 requests/month.
Full access to flight operations endpoints on the free tier.
End-to-end flight intelligence
From real-time tracking to pre-departure planning - SkyLink covers the complete flight lifecycle.
Real-Time Flight Status
Track any flight by IATA or ICAO number - scheduled, estimated, and actual times, gate, terminal, delay minutes, and current status.
Departure & Arrival Schedules
Full 12-hour schedule windows for any airport, both directions. Historical and future timestamps - yesterday's arrivals or tomorrow's departures.
Great-Circle Distance
Haversine distance, initial bearing, and route midpoint between any two airports - nautical miles, kilometres, or statute miles, with 16-point cardinals.
AI Flight Briefing
AI-generated pre-flight briefings for any origin→destination. Aggregates METAR/TAF, NOTAMs, and PIREPs into a pilot-ready summary (powered by IBM Granite) - exportable as a PDF.
NOTAMs
Active Notices to Air Missions for any ICAO airport - runway closures, navaid outages, airspace restrictions, taxiway changes. Kept current in real time, no scraping.
FAA Delays
Active FAA NAS delays - nationwide or by airport. Ground stops, ground delay programs, and arrival/departure delays, sourced live from FAA NASSTATUS with no caching.
Integration
Track any flight with one call
Query by IATA or ICAO flight number and get back a fully structured status object - departure times, arrival estimates, gate, terminal, and delay in one response.

NOTAMs
Live NOTAMs for any airport
Retrieve all active Notices to Air Missions for any ICAO airport in a single structured request - no scraping, no parsing raw NOTAM strings.
Perfect for EFB pre-flight checks, dispatch tools, and AI briefing enrichment. Each notice includes category, validity window, and full text.
