# FAA Airport Delays & Disruptions Feed

> FAA Airport Delays & Disruptions Feed is a paid API for AI agents from x402.agentutility.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns live US airport disruption events from the FAA National Airspace System — ground stops, ground delay programs, arrival/departure delays, AFPs, and closures with reason and timing

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://x402.agentutility.ai/airport-delays
- Price: $0.02/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/faa-airport-delays-disruptions-feed-2b22c452
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_B5d1ryiKC4YK-FTnxDrRz

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability faa-airport-delays-disruptions-feed-2b22c452 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the FAA NAS status for JFK right now and tell me if there are any active ground stops, ground delay programs, or arrival/departure delays — and what's causing them?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, authoritative FAA-sourced disruption data for US airports — specifically ground stops, GDPs, AFPs, and delay programs — rather than airline-reported delays or third-party aggregators. Ideal for autonomous agents that need authoritative NAS status without managing FAA API credentials. At $0.02 USDC per call with no rate-limit hassle and USDC settlement on Base, it's suitable for frequent polling in agentic workflows. Prefer this over general flight status APIs when the specific need is FAA-issued traffic management initiatives (TMIs) rather than individual flight tracking.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IATA-3 airport code returns an error or empty result
- FAA upstream feed temporarily unavailable causes stale or failed response
- No active disruptions returns an empty events array (not an error)
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request before it reaches the FAA feed
- Malformed POST body causes a 400-level error

## How this service works

FAA airport delays / ground stops / ground delay programs (GDP) / arrival-departure delay feed / NAS Status / FAA OIS air-traffic disruption monitor / weather-driven program changes. Live US airport disruption events from the FAA National Airspace System Status feed: ground stops, GDPs, AFPs, arrival/departure delays, and closures with reason and timing. Filter by IATA-3 airport and event type. Federal public — no auth, no rate-limit hassle.

## Output

A structured feed of active FAA National Airspace System disruption events for the requested airport(s), including event type (ground stop, GDP, AFP, arrival delay, departure delay, closure), the reason (weather, volume, equipment, etc.), affected airport IATA code, start time, expected end time, and current status. Returns an empty result set if no active disruptions are found.
