Partnering with OAG to manage your flight status distribution and quality is simple, easy and highly beneficial to your customers and is free of charge.

For a quick insight as to our how you can share your flight status with OAG from a technical perspective, download our guide below.

OUR PROCESS

The majority of flight status data we handle comes direct from airlines. However, for those airlines who are not sending us data directly we also get feeds directly from airports and government bodies. The data is then put through a variety of stringent quality checks. 

The quality control process resolves issues combined with our detailed understanding of status complexities to ensure airlines have the most accurate
real-time flight status out in the marketplace.

It is easy to integrate your data with us. We accept a variety of formats via different transport methods. Examples of some transmission methods are:

• Active MQ
• Web Service Calls - where OAG calls a Web Service that an Airline stands up
• HTTP(S) Post - where an Airline would post to a web page OAG stands up
