# StableTravel FlightAware Nearby Airports

> StableTravel FlightAware Nearby Airports is a paid API for AI agents from stabletravel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns a list of airports near a given airport, sorted by distance, with full airport metadata including IATA/ICAO codes, coordinates, and timezone.

## 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 stabletravel-flightaware-nearby-airports-d52e0697
```

Example prompt: Find all airports within 75 miles of KJFK — include small airfields too, not just IAP airports.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover airports geographically surrounding a known airport, such as when looking for alternate landing options, nearby regional airports, or building a radius-based airport map. Prefer this over a general airport search when you have a specific reference airport ID and want distance/heading data relative to it.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid airport ID in the URL path returns a 404 or error response
- Radius value out of acceptable range may return an empty airports array or validation error
- Pagination cursor mismatch or expiry returns no results or an error
- Exceeding max_pages limit truncates results silently
- Network or upstream FlightAware API outage returns a 5xx error
- Insufficient payment (x402) results in a 402 Payment Required response before data is returned

## How this service works
