Get Flights by Identifier

Use this endpoint when you need to look up flights by a specific ident (flight number like AA100 or aircraft registration like N12345) and optionally constrain results to a geographic area. Prefer this over the operator-based historical flights endpoint when you have a specific flight number or tail number in mind rather than a broad operator query.

• Missing required bounding box parameters (north, west, south, east) returns a 400 error
• Invalid or unknown flight identifier returns empty results
• Bounding box coordinates out of valid range returns a 400 error
• Exceeding rate limits or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 payment required error
• FlightAware data unavailable for the queried ident returns empty or partial results
