## Methods

### [List airport arrivals or departures](https://fous.com/methods/flightaware.com/list-airport-flights.md)

`flightaware.com/list_airport_flights`, read. Lists the public arrivals or departures FlightAware shows for an airport (name, city, IATA/ICAO code or FlightAware link), with flight times and status. For a city with several airports it picks the busiest listed one and says so; the public board shows up to 20 flights per direction.

Returns: airport name and code, selection note; per flight: number, airline, city, airport code, aircraft, scheduled and latest time, status, link

### [Get airport delays](https://fous.com/methods/flightaware.com/get-airport-delays.md)

`flightaware.com/get_airport_delays`, read. Checks today's delayed and cancelled departures and arrivals at an airport on FlightAware, with current weather and any reported FAA delay status. Delay averages and ground programs are returned only when FlightAware shows them; counts can be null when no statistics row is displayed.

Returns: airport name and code, date, delayed and cancelled departure and arrival counts and percents, average delays, FAA ground program and reason, weather, temperature, wind, FlightAware link

### [Check flight status](https://fous.com/methods/flightaware.com/check-flight-status.md)

`flightaware.com/check_flight_status`, read. Checks the public FlightAware status of an airline flight (airline name or code plus number) on a departure date, by default today at the departure airport: airports, scheduled, estimated and actual gate times in local time, delays, gates, terminals, aircraft and distance. A date older than FlightAware's public two-week list is looked up on the flight's history page when FlightAware still shows it.

Returns: flight number, airline, status, origin and destination airports, scheduled/estimated/actual departure and arrival, delays, terminals, gates, aircraft type, route distance, FlightAware link and flight ID
