API Works Quickly and Accurately
I recently reached out to Aviation Edge to see if I could get a free key for my school project. They were quick to respond and graciously agreed to give me a key.
Their API is well documented and has lots of different aspects. The response time on their API is very quick especially considering the size of data returned by my initial couple of queries that I primarily used to test functionality.
Overall I couldn't be happier with their customer service and product quality. I'm looking forward to using their API to finish up my school project.
Positive
I’ve had a really positive experience working with Aviation Edge so far. Their API is easy to integrate, the data is reliable, and the coverage is exactly what I needed for my aviation project.
What stood out the most was their support team — responsive, helpful, and flexible when it came to adjusting a plan that fits my actual usage. That level of service makes a big difference, especially when building a product.
Overall, a solid solution if you’re working with aviation data. Highly recommended.
Very friendly for students
I finally found time to write a review.
I'm currently pursuing my undergraduate thesis at the time of writing. I'd like to thank Aviation Edge's generosity in helping my group afford their services for my study. Unfortunately, my group is not funded by our university and the data that I'm looking for is quite particular that I had trouble finding accessibility from companies and airports. Aviation Edge gave me the opportunity to pursue my study while also allowing us to afford their services at a student's price.
Overall, the service that they offer is definitely worth the membership. They have one of the lowest rates in terms of membership from my understanding. The numerous options available and the easy integration with Python definitely made the whole experience easier and more complete. Big props to their customer service for their kindness, empathy, professionalism, and timely replies to my queries. They definitely played a big part in me choosing this service. I hope for this company's expansion and popularity soon.
Overall, a very positive experience with a supportive team
I had a very positive experience communicating with the Aviation Edge team. The interaction was friendly, professional, and very responsive from the start.
They took the time to understand my technical use case and explained everything clearly and transparently. I especially appreciated the open and supportive communication — it felt like a real conversation rather than a generic sales response.
Overall, great cooperation and a helpful team, especially from a developer’s perspective.
Aviation Edge is responsive and easy to work with!
I reached out to them right before New Years to aviation edge asking if they could provide me with a free API Key to do a personal project.
I would not be lying if I said that I did not expect a response from them but they did and not only did they responded but immediately provided what I asked.
They have been very responsive and easy to work with and I am quite happy that they have made it so accessible for me to do a data engineering project.
well structured API
well structured API, and very supportive staff team, aviation edge provided everything i needed for my project without many issues, documentation is also brief and concise
Excellent Aviation Data API — Reliable & Developer-Friendly
Aviation Edge is one of the best aviation APIs I’ve used. Data is accurate, well-structured, and covers everything — flights, airports, airlines, schedules, and historical data. The JSON responses are clean and consistent, making FastAPI or Streamlit integration effortless.
Performance is fast, uptime is solid, and support is responsive and professional. Perfect for analytics, flight-tracking dashboards, and data-driven aviation apps. Highly recommended for both developers and researchers who need trustworthy real-time and historical aviation data.
Great experience
I’m a university student using Aviation Edge for a project, and the experience has been excellent. The API is very easy to integrate, the documentation is clear, and the data is reliable and up to date which is exactly what we needed for our analysis. We were especially impressed by how smoothly the endpoints run and how quickly we could access historical flight information.
Their support team has also been great, responding fast and helping us understand the best way to collect the data for our assignment. Overall, Aviation Edge has made our project much easier, and I’m really happy with the service. Highly recommended for students, researchers, or anyone who needs accurate aviation data.
I have been able to test the Data I am…
I have been able to test the Data I am able to pull from Aviation Edge. While other API keys I have tried struggle with the context of NZ flights, this API key does not. I have been able to create a front end that has a backend revolving around the data I am able to extract from the API. With this I am able to make a flight tracker with all sorts of details such as plane status and times and even if they are delayed on cancelled.
I would like to highlight the amazing…
I would like to highlight the amazing service John has given me from the very beginning. As a student in tech with limited budget, they encouraged my project by giving me free access which I am extremely grateful for! That being said, their service works great truly what I have been looking for.
Solid aviation data and great support
I’ve been using Aviation Edge for some time, and it’s been very reliable. The data is correct, updates quickly, and integrates well with my systems. I haven’t faced any major issues. Whenever I’ve had a question, their support team has responded quickly and has been really helpful.
Overall, it’s a great service if you need dependable aviation data. I definitely recommend it.

I sent emails and used their form 3 times yesterday and today. No response. I have an api string that looks absolutely correct.

With a delta flight it works perfectly
This flight i'm actually booked on so I know it is valid but no data.
They don't seem interested in helping.

I've been using the Aviation Edge API…
I've been using the Aviation Edge API for my aviation-related project, and it has been incredibly helpful throughout the development process. The API provides comprehensive and reliable aviation data that has proven essential for my work.
What I appreciate most:
Comprehensive Data Coverage - The API offers extensive aviation data including flight schedules, airport information, aircraft details, and real-time flight tracking. This breadth of coverage has allowed me to build a robust solution without needing to integrate multiple data sources.
Reliability and Accuracy - The data quality is consistently high, with accurate and up-to-date information that I can trust for my application. This reliability is crucial for aviation-related projects where precision matters.
Easy Integration - The API documentation is clear and well-structured, making the integration process straightforward. The RESTful architecture and JSON responses make it easy to work with in various programming environments.
Responsive Performance - Query response times are fast, which is essential for real-time applications. The API handles requests efficiently even during peak usage.
Good Support - Whenever I've had questions or needed clarification, the support team has been responsive and helpful.
Value for Money - The pricing structure is reasonable and offers good value considering the comprehensive data and reliability provided.
Aviation Edge has significantly accelerated my project development and reduced the complexity of accessing aviation data. I highly recommend it to anyone working on aviation-related applications, whether for research, commercial projects, or data analysis.
Great Experience with Aviation Edge
We have been using Aviation Edge for a university project that required real-time flight arrival and departure data for a local airport in our Aviation Suite. It has been a fantastic experience as John and his staff have been very helpful when we needed something or had questions.
Their API works well and is now a standard part of the flight data we show on the screens within our aviation suite. It's reliable, easy to utilise, and the assistance from their staff made everything smooth.
A big thank you to John and everyone at Aviation Edge. I really recommend them if you are looking for good quality aviation data and excellent service!
Excellent Historical Data and Support from Leo
I have testing countless (maybe all) commercially available aviation schedule APIs, and this by far is the best, especially for the price.
Aviation Edge’s historical flight data has been incredibly detailed and reliable. It includes delays, statuses, actual and scheduled times — globally and across all airlines. This API allows multiple concurrent queries, returns up to 20k flights in one call, is not rate limited and has a large amount of filtering parameters. The data consistency has been excellent throughout, and the API has experienced very little downtime in our usage.
Special mention to Leo, who's support has also been fantastic. Responses are always quick, extremely helpful, and tailored around our specific needs.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for robust aviation data and a team that genuinely supports you.
Upto date information when you need it
I need the information for a project I am working on. Setup was very easy and information was precise. Would highly recommend for main stream services. And Leo is awesome to deal with. very responsive in a short time
Overall Experience
Overall Experience: We've been extremely satisfied with the support provided—it’s clear that the team is dedicated to delivering excellent service. The customer service is top-notch, with quick and friendly responses to any requests. Their responsiveness has made a real difference in our experience.
Many of our update requests—such as airline name/code changes or missing airlines—have been related to updates that took place within the last two years. A comprehensive refresh of the static data could potentially minimize the need for frequent update requests.
Be careful with their subscription…
Be careful with their subscription policy. After I forgot to cancel my free subscription, which converted to a paid yearly subscription, I contacted them the following day, and they refused to refund me. I never used their API, not even once. Classic Bulgarian business... P.S. Reply to Aviation Edge Reply: If you look at all one star reviews, many people has same issue. And you are choosing not to review your subscription policy but to talk back at Trustpilot, I think that tells a lot about you as a company. I will try to spend more of my free time to get this issue more publicity as possible to protect your future customers because I see that you are not able to do that.

The best source of flight data
Aviation Edge is the best source of air travel data. For my master's thesis on flight data mining using artificial intelligence, it helped a lot. Speed, data completeness, structuring, everything is top level. Thank you for the experience.
Amazing Product and great customer service!
Aviation Edge is an amazing source for live flight data, airport data (METARs/TAFs etc..). The customer service is also absolutely amazing and helpful. As a student on a budget, John at the Aviation Edge sales team was able to help me by reducing the cost of the API key and use it for a limited time.
