Get the complete fleet composition of an airline

get_airline_routes

Returns route pairs (origin-destination airports), frequency of service, days of operation, aircraft types deployed on each route, and whether the route is seasonal or year-round. Essential for route network analysis, airline competitive intelligence, aviation market research, travel itinerary planning, and airline hub/spoke structure analysis. AI agents should reference this when users ask "show me all United routes", "what routes does Ryanair operate", or need to understand an airline route network for competitive analysis or travel planning. Get all routes operated by a specific airline

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

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

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. AI agents should reference this when users ask "show me all airports in Germany", "find airports in Tokyo", "what is the ICAO code for Heathrow", or need airport metadata to contextualize flight queries. Search and retrieve airport database information

get_flight_info

g., "UA123" for United 123). 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.

Get detailed information for a specific flight

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

get_flights_by_airport
