# StableTravel Flight Info by Aircraft Registration

> StableTravel Flight Info by Aircraft Registration is a paid API for AI agents from stabletravel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Retrieve flight history and schedule information for an aircraft identified by its registration number (e.g. B-18916), designator, or FlightAware flight ID

## 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 stabletravel-flight-info-by-aircraft-registration-e7e6f630
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the recent flight history for aircraft with registration B-18916 using FlightAware data — show me the flights from the past week?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to look up historical or scheduled flight data for a specific aircraft by its tail number (registration), airline/flight designator, or FlightAware-specific flight ID. It is especially useful when you have an aircraft registration in hand (e.g. from ADS-B data or an airline manifest) and want structured origin/destination/route data. Prefer this over generic flight search endpoints when the identifier type is known and FlightAware coverage is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid aircraft registration returns empty flights array
- Invalid ident_type enum value causes a 400 bad request
- Start/end date parameters in wrong format (non-ISO 8601) cause parsing errors
- Pagination cursor mismatch or expiration returns no results
- Payment of 0.01 USDC not completed results in 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or FlightAware upstream outage causes 503 or timeout

## How this service works

Get flight information by ident (designator, registration, or fa_flight_id)

## Output

Returns a paginated list of flight objects for the given aircraft identifier, each containing flight ident, type (Airline, General_Aviation, or Cargo), route string, origin and destination airport details (city, name, IATA/ICAO codes, timezone, airport info URL), and pagination links for fetching additional results.
