Airport and FIR NOTAM Data Through API

July 4, 2026

Real-time and historical NOTAM data for airport monitoring, FIR analysis, flight planning tools, and aviation data platforms.

NOTAMs are one of the most important aviation data types for understanding operational changes that may affect airports, airspace, procedures, restrictions, or flight planning.

This is why Aviation Edge NOTAM API provides access to both airport and FIR NOTAM data through a REST API. The API supports real-time NOTAMs as new notices are released, as well as historical NOTAMs for analysis, reporting, and aviation research.

This way, the API makes it suitable for developers building aviation dashboards, flight planning tools, dispatch systems, airport monitoring products, airspace analysis platforms, and other apps that need structured NOTAM data.

Where Developers Use NOTAM Data

In many aviation products, NOTAMs are not the primary feature. They are often part of a wider operational or data layer.

For example, a flight planning tool may already work with airport schedules, routes, aircraft, weather, and flight tracking data. Adding NOTAM data gives the product more operational context.

A dashboard may show that a flight is scheduled to arrive at a specific airport, but airport NOTAM data can help provide additional information about runway work, temporary restrictions, or other conditions that may be relevant.

Similarly, FIR NOTAM data can be useful when an application needs to monitor airspace-level restrictions, temporary prohibited areas, or regional operational notices.

Example Airport NOTAM API Request

A basic airport NOTAM request can be made using an airport IATA code.

GET https://aviation-edge.com/v2/public/notams?key=YOUR_API_KEY&iata=ORY

This example requests for Paris-Orly Airport using the IATA code ORY.

Use the location parameter instead for non-airport places for FIR NOTAM

GET https://aviation-edge.com/v2/public/notams?key=YOUR_API_KEY&location=ZNY

Understanding the Response Fields

Each NOTAM object includes structured fields that can be used for filtering, storage, display, or analysis.

Field	Description
`location`	Airport or NOTAM location reference
`number`	NOTAM number
`class`	NOTAM classification
`startdateutc`	NOTAM start date and time in UTC
`enddateutc`	NOTAM end date and time in UTC
`condition`	Original NOTAM message text. Full operational notice, including aviation abbreviations, affected areas, coordinates, validity periods, procedures, and other details.

Filtering Active NOTAMs in an Application

A common use case is filtering currently active NOTAMs.

This type of logic can be used in airport dashboards, operational monitoring tools, or alerting systems.

For example, a dashboard could request NOTAMs for a selected airport, store the response, and show only notices that are currently active.

				
					function filterActiveNotams(notams) {
  const now = new Date();

  return notams.filter((notam) => {
    const startDate = new Date(notam.startdateutc);
    const endDate = new Date(notam.enddateutc);

    return startDate <= now && endDate >= now;
  });
}

Searching NOTAM Text

Because the original NOTAM text is available in the condition field, applications can also search or classify notices based on keywords.

				
					function findRunwayRelatedNotams(notams) {
  return notams.filter((notam) =>
    notam.condition.toLowerCase().includes("runway")
  );
}

Depending on the use case, developers may choose to search for terms related to:

runway
taxiway
crane
obstacle
restricted area
prohibited area
airspace
lighting
repair work
closure
temporary procedure

This can be useful when building internal filters, highlighting important notices, or grouping NOTAMs by operational topic.

Historical NOTAM Data Analysis

Historical NOTAM data is useful when the goal is not only to show what is happening now, but also to understand what happened before and help answer questions such as:

How often did an airport publish runway-related NOTAMs?
Which airports had long-running operational restrictions?
How many NOTAMs were active during a specific period?
What types of notices were most common at a selected airport?

Historical FIR NOTAM data can support airspace-level analysis, including:

temporary restricted area activity
regional operational notices
airspace-related disruption patterns
Flight Information Region notice history

For data teams, historical NOTAM records can be stored and combined with other aviation data sources such as flight schedules, delays, routes, airport data, or weather data.

Build With Notice to Airmen Data - Access the API

Whether you need current or historical NOTAMs anywhere in the world where flights take place, the API provides a structured way to bring NOTAM information into your application.

Developers can review the NOTAM API documentation for request parameters, response fields, and implementation details or get an API key to start testing the data.
