Flight Status

  • How long is the delay?
  • Is it cancelled?
  • What is my departure or arrival gate and terminal?
  • What type of plane is used on this flight?

Flight Track

Flight Track consists of positional information and updates needed to create flight tracking applications and answers questions such as:
