Is it possible to get a list of diverted aircraft by specifying an airport ID?
The only thing I can find is on SearchBirdseyeInFlight, but it seems to be a parameter of a returned flight. I would like to get a list of all flights diverted to or from an airport.
Thanks!
You can indeed use SearchBirdseyeInFlight with a query string of something like “{true diverted} {orig_or_dest KIAH}” and then evaluate the results to see if there are any that meet your more specific criteria.
Keep in mind that we handle flight diversions by marking the original flight (origin and planned destination) with the diverted flag, and then create another flight instance with the same faFlightID and same origin but with the new destination.
