The Schedules API service provides real-time data for the flight schedules and timetables of airports and airlines around the world and maintains this for you in our central database, always accessible with your personal API key. This is one of Aviation Edge’s core features. You can build real-time airport departure and arrival tables, keep track of delays and cancellations, track the status of flights by using our API. The data comes in JSON format, making it useful to implement to websites and build applications, tools, software, and more.

The data includes the following: - Flight Status: active, scheduled, landed, cancelled, incident, diverted, redirected. - Airport details: IATA code, ICAO code, Terminal, Gate for both departure and arrival airport - Take-off information: Scheduled, estimated and actual times on runway and that of departure/arrival. - Total delay (updated for departures) - Airline: Name, IATA code and ICAO code. - Flight: Number of Flight, IATA prefix with flight number and ICAO prefix with flight number.

The number of flights performed globally by the airline industry has increased steadily since the early 2000s and reached 38.9 million in 2019. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the number of flights dropped to 18.3 million in 2020. The flight volume increased again in the following years and was forecasted to reach 38.7 million in 2024. The global airline industry The number of flights performed increased year-on-year continuously to transport both passengers and freight. The industry’s recent growth can be attributed to a combination of increasing living standards and decreasing costs of air travel. While North American and European airlines currently dominate in terms of both revenue and passengers flown, it is predicted that future growth will be highest in markets of Asia.

India All Scheduled Airlines: International: Passenger Load Factor data was reported at 83.599 % in Dec 2024. This records a decrease from the previous number of 83.851 % for Nov 2024. India All Scheduled Airlines: International: Passenger Load Factor data is updated monthly, averaging 74.300 % from Jan 1996 (Median) to Dec 2024, with 343 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 87.311 % in Dec 2023 and a record low of 46.397 % in May 2021. India All Scheduled Airlines: International: Passenger Load Factor data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Directorate General of Civil Aviation. The data is categorized under Global Database’s India – Table IN.TA019: Airline Statistics: All Scheduled Airlines.

Global airlines' combined passenger load factor has been gradually trending upward over the last 15 years; from 75.2 percent in 2005 to 82.6 percent in 2019. In 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, passenger load factor dropped to 65 percent. However, it rebounded and forecast to reach 82,5 percent in 2024.
Passenger load factor Passenger load factor (PLF) is a measure of how much of an airline’s passenger carrying capacity has been utilized. It is calculated by dividing the revenue passenger kilometers, which is the total number of kilometers flown by passengers, by the available seat kilometers, which is the total number of kilometers flown for every seat in an aircraft (regardless of whether it has been filled or not). A higher passenger load factor therefore means that there are less empty seats on each aircraft, but does not indicate anything about changes in the total number of kilometers flown per passenger or per seat . PLF and profitability As airlines have fixed costs associated with every flight, a higher PLF will generally mean a higher profit margin for airlines. PLF is only one factor affecting total profitability though, meaning increases in PLF do not necessarily correspond with higher profits. In particular, the cost of airline fuel, which can be highly variable, has a strong effect on the operating margin of airlines. This can be seen clearly in through the jump in profitability from 2014 to 2015, which corresponds with a steep drop in the expenditure required for fuel.
