Where does FlightStats obtain its flight status information?
Complete, accurate data is the cornerstone of our business. Data quality sets us apart from competitive solutions: • Geographic Coverage – FlightStats provides definitive information for approximately 99.5% of U.S. flights, and more than 86% of flights worldwide. • Completeness – FlightStats queries multiple sources to create a record for each flight, enabling us to offer more complete information (for example, gate information). • Accuracy – We have invested heavily in the areas of parsing, interpretation and error checking, and we have developed logic that handles difficult issues such as cancellations, diversions and changing schedules. • Codeshare Support – Our codeshare logic enables us to deliver flight information for both the operating and the marketing carriers, filling what is often a major gap in coverage.
