End-to-end flight intelligence

From real-time tracking to pre-departure planning — SkyLink covers the complete flight lifecycle.

📟

Real-Time Flight Status

Track any flight by IATA or ICAO flight number. Returns departure/arrival times (scheduled, estimated, actual), gate, terminal, delay minutes, and current flight status.

🗓️

Departure & Arrival Schedules

Full 12-hour schedule windows for any airport in either direction. Supports historical and future timestamps so you can show yesterday's arrivals or tomorrow's departures.

📏

Great-Circle Distance

Haversine great-circle distance, initial bearing, and route midpoint between any two airports. Supports nautical miles, kilometres, and statute miles with 16-point cardinal directions.

🤖

AI Flight Briefing

AI-generated structured pre-flight briefings for any origin→destination pair. Aggregates METAR/TAF, NOTAMs, and PIREPs into a concise pilot-ready summary powered by IBM Granite.

📋

NOTAMs — Notices to Air Missions

Retrieve active Notices to Air Missions for any airport by ICAO code. Coverage includes runway closures, navigation aid outages, airspace restrictions, taxiway changes, and procedure amendments. NOTAMs are kept current in real-time — new notices, replacements, and cancellations all reflected immediately, so you always see an accurate picture without scraping external AIP websites.

Start free — 1,000 requests/month, no credit card required.
