Airline Routes Database

Find out how you can use the airline route database in your products.


Airline Routes Database contains up-to-date schedules that are operated by airlines. This data is not real-time data and does not display flight statuses.

Together with API Schedules you can use data from Airline Routes Database to predict flight schedules for the distant future.

Knowing what days of the week and at what time a particular flight departs, you can easily build any routes with connections.
