# FlightAware Airport Details by Code

> FlightAware Airport Details by Code is a paid API for AI agents from stabletravel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns detailed information for a specific airport identified by its airport code, including location, identifiers, and flight URL

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://stabletravel.dev/api/flightaware/airports/yyc
- Price: $0.03/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_vGVI4aTv1bNY2ZZnBKkxj

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-2687bf5f
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full details for Calgary International Airport — I need its ICAO code, timezone, coordinates, and any nearby alternative airports?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need comprehensive metadata about a single airport — including geographic coordinates, timezone, multiple code formats (IATA/ICAO/LID), and alternative airports — rather than just a name-to-code lookup. Ideal for flight planning, enriching airport records, or resolving ambiguous airport references.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized airport code returns an error or empty result
- Airport code with no data in FlightAware database returns null fields
- Malformed request (wrong method) returns 400 or 405 error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting may return 429 Too Many Requests

## How this service works

Get detailed information for a specific airport by its code

## Output

A JSON object containing the airport's name, city, state, country code, latitude, longitude, elevation, timezone, IATA/ICAO/LID codes, Wikipedia URL, a link to its flights page, and a list of alternative nearby airports if available.
