# FlightAware Airport Delay Information

> FlightAware Airport Delay Information is a paid API for AI agents from stabletravel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Returns current delay information for a specific airport, including delay severity, categories, and reasons

## 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-airport-delay-information-6c277374
```

Example prompt: Are there any current delays at Suvarnabhumi Airport (VTBS) right now, and what's causing them?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time delay data for a specific airport identified by its ICAO code and want structured delay reasons and categories. It is ideal for agents monitoring travel disruptions, pre-departure checks, or operational dashboards. Prefer this over generic flight search endpoints when the user specifically wants to know about airport-level delay conditions rather than individual flight status.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported airport code returns empty delays array or error
- Airport not found in FlightAware database returns 404 or empty response
- No active delays returns an empty delays array (not an error)
- Network or upstream FlightAware API outage returns 5xx error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request

## How this service works

Get current delay information for a specific airport

## Output

Returns an array of delay records for the airport, each containing a severity color indicator (e.g. green/yellow/red), the airport name and ICAO code, and a list of delay reasons with category labels, reason counts, and delay durations in seconds.
