Diverted Flights Change
We have improved the way diverted flights are presented in Flight Info Direct. Previously, a diverted flight was represented by a Flight State value of “Diverted” as well as the presence of a Diversion Airport (IATA, ICAO, FAA). However, a dedicated "Diverted" Flight State meant that further updates to a flight, such as InAir or Landed, would not be published. This meant users could not effectively follow the remainder of a flight's journey. The change we have made sees the removal of “Diverted” as a Flight State and the presence of a Diversion Airport in one of the following fields is now the way to identify a diverted flight:
DIVERSION_IATA_AIRPORT_CODE
DIVERSION_ICAO_AIRPORT_CODE
DIVERSION_FAA_AIRPORT_CODE
If there is a value in these fields it indicates that the flight is diverted. Please note that the subsequent local status times will be presented in the local time zone of the diversion airport. With this adjustment, we have now made it easier for you to identify if a flight was diverted to another location while at the same time being in the air, or even right after it has left the gate.
