Overview
Flight Information Display Systems are used by airports to display real-time flight information for the ease of passengers. Flight Information Display Systems are mostly deployed at airport lounges, terminals, food courts, hotels, duty free area and wherever passengers can be present on the airport premises.
SITA Flight Information Display API, allows the users to let go of the pain and effort of integrating with various data sources to display relevant information on Flight Information Display Systems. SITA Flight Information Display API provides a one-stop solution to empower Flight Information Display Systems with real-time data being flexible enough to customize it according to end-user.
See our 'Try it Now' page for more details.
Airline Icons
We also make icons available to enable you to create a graphical display of the Airline Icons. See documentation for a full list.

2 Technical Documentation
SITA Flight Information Display API is a REST based service which provides information about flight departures and arrivals around the world.
To access the APIs you will need an API key. These can be obtained by creating an account on https://www.developer.aero/ and registering your interest for access to the API.
2.1 Authentication
To access the APIs an OAuth access token must be supplied in an Authorization header in the request. To obtain an OAuth token a request must be sent to the https://sitaopen.api.aero/fids/oauth/token endpoint using the OAuth2 Client Credential flow.Use your API key as the client_id, and your consumer secret as the client_secret these should be base64 encoded in an Authorization header when sent to the OAuth endpoint.
Please note the OAuth tokens have an expiry of one hour after the token has been retrieved, after the token has expired you will need to re-issue a request to get a new token.
curl --location 'https://sitaopen.api.aero/fids/oauth/token' \--header 'Authorization: Basic YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcC5xcnN0dXY='
You should then see your OAuth token in the response.
"access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOJIUzI1NiJ9.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.g_dFH-08DGADOX9HIk7wzX5edxXejVsnCen27A25TQ0"
Once an access token has been obtained, it can be placed in the Authorization HTTP header as a bearer token, for example:
curl --location 'https://sitaopen.api.aero/fids/v1/MIA/D' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOJIUzI1NiJ9.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.g_dFH-08DGADOX9HIk7wzX5edxXejVsnCen27A25TQ0'
2.2 Security
- All incoming requests will be REST over HTTPS.
- Users are authenticated using their OAuth token.
- Certain response payload elements will be filtered based on permissions associated with their token.
