# FAA US Airport Status Check

> FAA US Airport Status Check is a paid API for AI agents from api.x402node.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns real-time FAA operational status for a single US airport by IATA/ICAO code, including closures, ground stops, ground delays, arrival delays with reasons and timing, or a clear/normal status.

## Facts

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-us-airport-status-check-7b9e72e7
```

Example prompt: What's the current FAA status of JFK airport — are there any ground stops, delays, or closures right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time FAA operational status for a specific US airport, especially to check for ground stops, delays, or closures before or during travel. Prefer this over general flight tracking APIs when you specifically need FAA-sourced ground control status rather than individual flight status.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized airport code returns an error or empty result
- FAA data feed temporarily unavailable causing stale or missing status
- Non-US airport codes are not supported (FAA only covers US airports)
- Payment of $0.005 USDC required per call via x402 protocol; unpaid requests are rejected

## How this service works

Single US airport status from FAA by code: closures, ground stops, ground delays, arrival delays with reasons and timing, or normal if clear. 单个美国机场状态（FAA）：关闭、地面停飞、延误详情。指定空港の運航状況。Estado de un aeropuerto. 단일 공항 상태. Query: ?airport=JFK Accepts payment on Base or Solana — either network works.

## Output

Returns the current FAA operational status for the specified airport: either a normal/clear status or detailed information about active conditions such as closures, ground stops, ground delays, or arrival delays — including reasons (e.g. weather, volume) and estimated timing where available.
