Part of 12 available through AirLabs.

  1. 01

    Get aircraft

    Returns aircraft registration number, ICAO type code, manufacturer and model, owner/operator, registration country, year built, engine type and count, and current operational status. The hex code is a unique identifier assigned to each aircraft transponder and can be found in flight tracking data. Essential for aviation enthusiasts, aircraft tracking, fleet verification, and detailed aircraft research. AI agents use this when users have an aircraft hex code from flight tracking data and need to look up the full aircraft registration and specifications. Get information about a specific aircraft by hex code

  2. 02

    Get nearby airports

    Returns all airports (large international, regional, and general aviation) within the search radius with distances from the coordinate, IATA/ICAO codes, names, locations, and airport types. Essential for travel planning, alternate airport identification, geographic aviation research, emergency diversion planning, and multi-airport city analysis. AI agents should use this when users ask "what airports are near these coordinates", "find airports within 100km of this location", or need to identify the nearest airports to a specific point for travel or logistics purposes. Find airports near a specific geographic location

  3. 03

    Autocomplete airport

    Returns matching airports ranked by relevance with IATA/ICAO codes, full names, cities, countries, and airport types. Ideal for building airport search interfaces, type-ahead functionality, and airport identification when the user only knows part of the airport name or code. Essential for travel application development, airport search workflows, and user-friendly airport identification. AI agents should use this when users type partial airport names or codes and need quick suggestions, or when the exact airport code is unknown but a partial name is provided. Search airports by name or code with autocomplete suggestions

  4. 04

    Get airline fleet

    Returns all aircraft in the airline fleet with registration numbers, aircraft types (manufacturer and model), ICAO aircraft type codes, age in years, delivery dates, engine types, and current operational status (active, stored, retired). Essential for fleet analysis, aviation industry research, competitor intelligence, aircraft utilization studies, and airline operational profiling. AI agents use this when users ask "show me the Delta fleet", "what aircraft does Emirates operate", or need to analyze fleet composition, average fleet age, and aircraft diversity for a specific airline. Get the complete fleet composition of an airline

Get all routes operated by a specific airline

  2. 06

    Get airlines

    Supports filtering by country code, IATA code, ICAO code, airline name, or callsign. Returns airline details including IATA/ICAO codes, full name, country of registration, callsign, fleet size, founding year, hub airports, airline type (scheduled, cargo, charter), and operational status (active, inactive). Essential for airline industry research, competitor analysis, travel planning context, aviation market intelligence, and airline profile generation. AI agents should use this when users ask "show me all airlines in the US", "tell me about Lufthansa", "what airlines fly from Dubai", or need airline metadata to contextualize flight and fleet data. Search and retrieve airline database information

  3. 07

    Get airport delays

    Returns average departure and arrival delays in minutes, delay trends compared to historical averages, on-time performance percentages, cancellation rates, and weather-related delay indicators. Essential for travel planning, delay prediction, passenger communication, airline operations coordination, and airport performance monitoring. AI agents should reference this when users ask "are there delays at JFK", "how is LAX performing today", or need to assess airport operational conditions that may affect flight schedules. Get current delay statistics for a specific airport

  4. 08

    Get airports

    Supports filtering by country code, city name, IATA code, ICAO code, airport name, or timezone. Returns airport details including IATA/ICAO codes, full name, location (city, state, country), geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude, elevation), timezone, airport type (large, medium, small), and operational status. Essential for airport identification, travel planning, geographic aviation research, multi-airport city analysis, and flight briefing preparation.

Returns complete flight details including airline information, aircraft type and registration, departure and arrival airports with terminals and gates, scheduled and estimated/actual times, current flight status, delay indicators, and baggage claim information. Critical for passenger travel updates, detailed flight status queries, airline operations coordination, and travel itinerary verification. AI agents should use this when users ask "tell me about flight UA123", "what is the status of BA178", or need detailed information for a specific flight number. Get detailed information for a specific flight

  2. 10

    Get flights

    Supports filtering by airline IATA code (e.g., "UA" for United), flight number, aircraft registration (hex code), altitude range, speed, or geographic bounding box (lat/lng coordinates). Returns flight identification (flight IATA/ICAO codes), airline details, aircraft hex code and registration, departure and arrival airports with IATA/ICAO codes, scheduled and estimated/actual times, current position (latitude, longitude), altitude in meters, ground speed in km/h, heading direction, vertical speed, squawk code, and flight status (en-route, landed, scheduled, cancelled). Essential for real-time flight tracking, passenger pickup coordination, aviation operations monitoring, and live flight dashboards. AI agents should use this when users ask "show me all United flights", "track flights in this area", or need to search flights by airline, registration, or geographic area. Search for real-time active flights worldwide

  3. 11

    Get flights by airport

    Returns comprehensive flight lists with airline, flight number, aircraft type, origin/destination airport, scheduled and estimated/actual times, terminal and gate information, baggage claim (for arrivals), and current flight status (en-route, landed, scheduled, delayed, cancelled, diverted). Supports type parameter to filter by "departure" or "arrival" flights. Essential for airport operations management, passenger pickup coordination, ground handling planning, flight activity monitoring, and arrival/departure board displays. AI agents should reference this when users ask "what flights are departing from JFK", "show me all arrivals at LHR", or need to monitor airport traffic for a specific airport. Get all arriving or departing flights at a specific airport

FAQ

Questions AirLabs owners ask.

  • 01

    Can this MCP track historical flight data?

    The MCP focuses on real-time and scheduled data. You can check current delay statistics and scheduled timetables, but it is designed for live operational intelligence, not historical flight logs.

  • 02

    Do I need to know the IATA code to use this?

    No. You can search for airports by city name, country, or even partial name using the autocomplete capability. The MCP handles the code lookup for you.

  • 03

    Is this for commercial use or just personal interest?

    It's built for professional use. You can analyze competitor route networks, monitor operational efficiency for airport management, or plan complex logistics routes.

  • 04

    What kind of data can I get on an aircraft?

    You can get detailed specs on an aircraft using its hex code. This includes the manufacturer, model, year built, and current operational status.

  • 05

    Does this only work for major international airports?

    No. The airport database supports searching for large international, regional, and general aviation facilities.
