  • Aircraft and flight: IATA and ICAO number of flight and registration number, ICAO code and ICAO24 code of aircraft.

Sources and Process

The data of the Flight Tracker 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.

The data is live, the updates happen within short intervals of just a few minutes

We also receive data from our aviation partners and combine all this to the central system for our clients. 

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.

Aviation Edge API for Developers

Our database is divided between static and dynamic data. Static data is that what does not frequently change but due to the massive size of our database, there are constant updates. Think about airport and airline information. 

The dynamic data is that what changes more frequently or uses our software to turn it into useful tools. Think about flight tracking API and airport schedules API. It’s a REST API so depending on the development language you use, you can find the suitable method to develop it.
