How this service works
Current delays and closures at US airports from the FAA: ground delay programs, ground stops, arrival/departure delays and closures with reason and duration; filter by IATA code (JFK, LAX, ORD...).
Output
Returns a JSON object with the total number of incidents, data source attribution (FAA National Airspace System Status), optional airport filter applied, last updated timestamp, and an array of incidents each containing the delay type (e.g. ground delay program, ground stop, arrival/departure delay, closure), airport IATA code, reason (e.g. weather, runway construction, airport volume), average delay, and maximum delay. Also includes a boolean indicating whether the result set has no incidents.
Example use cases
Pre-flight delay check before departure
“I'm flying out of O'Hare in a few hours — are there any active FAA ground delays or closures at ORD right now, and if so what's causing them and how long are they expected to last?”
Airline operations situational awareness
“Give me a full picture of all current FAA delays and ground stop programs across US airports right now, including reasons and average delay times.”
Travel assistant alert for connecting flight
“My passenger has a connection through SFO — can you check if there are any active FAA ground delay programs or arrival delays at SFO and tell me the average delay duration?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/v1/us-airport-delays?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time US airport delay status sourced directly from the FAA, especially for ground delay programs and ground stops that are not always reflected in airline apps. It is ideal for aviation operations tools, travel assistants, or proactive delay monitoring agents. Prefer this over airline-specific status APIs when you need FAA authoritative data across all US airports simultaneously, or when filtering by specific IATA airport codes.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized IATA code returns empty or null results
- Stale data if FAA feed has not been recently updated (check 'updated' timestamp)
- Network timeout if FAA upstream source is slow
- No incidents returned when airport is operating normally (not an error, but may be confused for one)
- Partial data if FAA API is degraded or only reporting subset of programs
