Build a Flight Search Web App Using Aviation API
Create a real-time flight and airport search platform where users can explore airline details, track flights live, and discover airport information using Aviation APIs.Flight search apps teach you real-time data handling, API integration, form handling, live status tracking, and internationalization support — essential skills for modern web apps involving external datasets.
Enable users to search flights by airline, flight number, departure/arrival airport, or city. Track live statuses, explore airline details, and view interactive airport information.
Flight Search by Number or Route
Allow users to search real-time flight information by flight number, airline, or departure/destination airport.
Airport and Airline Lookup
Provide searchable directories of airports and airlines, displaying key details, maps, and statuses.
Live Flight Status Tracking
Show real-time flight status updates like delayed, on-time, arrived, canceled, or in-flight location tracking (optional).
Responsive, Mobile-Friendly Design
Ensure travelers can easily check flights and airport info on mobile or tablet devices with seamless UX.
Users search for flights by number or route. The app fetches real-time flight status and displays departure/arrival times, gates, delays, and more. Airport and airline directories provide quick reference and navigation information.
- Flight search input retrieves live flight status, aircraft info, and route details.
- Airport directory shows airports globally with quick access to IATA codes and live flights (optional).
- Airline directory shows logos, codes, and operational status (active, suspended, etc.).
- Optional: Real-time in-flight tracking on a map using latitude/longitude updates.
- Optional: Notifications for flight status changes (delayed, canceled, gate changes).
