Overview

SITA On-Time Performance API provides a standardized mechanism to compare how airlines, airports and ground handlers perform against their published schedules. It allows aviation companies to clearly and quickly see how they are performing against the competition and their own targets.

 

API Features

 

SITA On-Time Performance API allows the user to generate three types of reports.

 

  1. On-Time Performance Ranking - The user can request the highest or lowest performing airports and airlines within a region or globally for any date or period. 
  2. On-Time Performance Comparison – This feature allows the user to compare the on-time performance of a maximum of 20 Airports or Airlines for any given time interval.
  3. Flight Statistics – This is a generic report to obtain the total number of flights departing from an airport including cancelled flights.

 

Calculating OTP

 

SITA calculates on-time performance based on the millions of flight records and real-time updates it processes from airports worldwide every day. 

 

The on-time performance for airlines is the percentage of flights operated by that operator that arrived on time while the on-time performance for airports is the percentage of flights that departed on time.
Some points of note:

  • A flight is considered on time when it arrives/departs within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.
  • Cancelled flights count as not on-time flights.
  • The on-time performance is calculated based only on flights that SITA knows the actual arrival/departure time including cancelled flights.
  • All the times used in these calculations are gate times.

Check out our 'Reference Documentation' page for more details.

Note. SITA is focused on ensuring on-time performance is accurately calculated. To do this, any airlines or airports with more than 50% of their actual flight times missing from the sample are excluded from the report.

Examples of information included: iataCode, region, OnTime, not on-time, cancelled, performance percentage, flights, accuracy, rank, size, unknown

This API answers the below questions:

  • Who are the top-performing airport or airlines in the Americas?
  • Who are the top-performing airports or airlines worldwide?
  • What is the comparison between the OTP of airport X and airport Y?
  • What was the total number of flights departed /arrived at an airport?

2 Registration and API Sign Up

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. To obtain an OAuth token a request must be sent to the https://sitaopen.api.aero/otp/oauth/token endpoint using the OAuth2 Client Credential flow, using your API key as the client_id, and your consumer secret as the client_secret.

Once an access token has been obtained, it can be placed in the Authorization HTTP header as a bearer token, for example:

Authorization: Bearer eyJ92dNw9dka...

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.

2.3 Rate Limiting

All incoming requests are subject to a rate limiting restriction. The following headers are included in HTTP responses:

Header Description

X-RateLimit-Limit

The total number of requests allowed in the current time window

X-RateLimit-Remaining

The number of requests left for the current time window

X-RateLimit-Policy

The policy describing how many request per time window are allowed

X-RateLimit-Reset

The UTC timestamp at which the current rate limit window resets

3 SITA On-Time Performance API Service

The SITA On-Time Performance API is a REST based service which provides information about on-time performances of airports and airlines around the world.

A user may

  • Compare the on-time performances of airports and airlines

  • Search for the ranking of on-time performances of airports and airlines

  • Search for the totals of flights by airports and airlines

3.1 Resources

This section describes each On-Time Performance API service. Detailed API structure, example requests and responses, JSON schema for request (where appropriate) and responses, and error response codes and formats are included.

3.2 On-Time Performance Airline and Airport Comparison

3.2.1 GET Airlines comparison
