I have been asked to specify a system that is linked to airport arrivals and departures. Part of which is recording flight numbers.
I want to validate that the flight number entered is a valid flight for the selected airport but don't think it is feasible for client to enter all the flight numbers (big international airport(s) involved).
I know I can validate the airline code, firstly on it's format and there are lists out there of registered codes. However some time spent on Google did not find me anywhere to validate a specific flight number.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Guess I am looking for a central register somewhere.

Hi Gary,
You should problebly look for a webservice. It might just be that the airport has a webservice for you to use. if so you could easily connect

Hi Gary,
I developped a software for the Aviation business, and I can tell you, there is no central database of valid Flight Numbers.
As you mentioned there is one of the Airlinecodes available at iata.org.
You just can validate the flight numbers format, with is allways the two letter Airlineocde followed by a 1 to 4 digit flight number followed by an optional suffix.
The flight number has no check digit, and the airlines are free in the way they choose the flight number.
They can also create Ad Hoc Flight numbers, e.g. for charter flights.
Best Regards
Stefan. |

>>Have you looked at the Flighstats.com API?
Thanks Steve,
Unfortunately that service does not supply what I need as i need to check flight numbers / times weeks/months ahead.
Thanks anyway,
Gary. |

Thanks Stefan,
That's what I thought, but wanted to check, I will have to prompt the user for the date & Time and staff will have to manually verify.
Thanks Again.
