# FlightAware Airport Delays

> FlightAware Airport Delays is a paid API for AI agents from stabletravel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns current delay information for all airports system-wide, including delay severity and reasons.

## 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 flightaware-230b791c
```

Example prompt: Are there any airports with significant delays right now? Give me a full list of all current airport delays across the system, including what's causing them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a broad, system-wide snapshot of all current airport delays at once, rather than looking up a specific airport. Ideal for travel disruption monitoring, proactive alerting, or building dashboards that surface the worst-affected airports across the national airspace.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream FlightAware API unavailable — service may return an error or empty response
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient — request blocked before reaching FlightAware
- No delays currently active — returns an empty delays array (not an error)
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — HTTP 429 or equivalent error response

## How this service works

Get all airport delay information.

## Output

An array of airport delay objects, each containing the airport name and code, a color-coded severity indicator, and a list of delay reasons with category, count, and delay duration in seconds.
