I write this message today but I can write it everyday.
There is an international airline operating flights between many countries: Mauritania Airlines (iata L6/ icao MAI) created 8 years ago.
There was a small Georgian local airlines called TAM Air (iata L6/ icao VNZ) who ceased its operations 8 years ago.
So in fact you had 8 years to update your database.
Why the flight L6-105 of Mauritania Airlines is indicated as VNZ-105 instead of MAI-105 ?
I must pay every month for 3 different API to have a quite correct data feed.
Is it so difficult to have an updated database of airlines and airports ? Iâm not talking about airfields in the middle of the chilian pampa. Iâm not talking about about a CESSNA operating for a Papu-New-Guinean local airline. Iâm talking about international airports and international airlinesâŚ
I have waited 4 months (FOUR MONTHS) to have the IATA code updated for the biggest international airport of West Africa!
And I lose hours every month to correct my own database.
Thanks
I donât think iâve seen a bug report about that airline being incorrect before, so unless someone reports a problem we wonât know that something needs to be corrected.
Iâve made some updates to our airlines database, so you may see some gradual improvements over the next few days. However that particular airline is operating primarily outside of our primary coverage area, so itâs likely that tracking will still be incomplete in the future.
When I have a little time (not used to fix the errors of the API) I will post here the hundreds of unforgivable errors that the API returns. Errors that a simple update of the database by a trainee would avoidâŚ
Why does the flight E7 -712 operated by Estafeta Carga AĂŠrea (iata E7 - icao ESF) is indicated as EAF712 operated by European Aviation Air Charter (E7 - EAF) an airline who ceased its operations 10 years ago ?
Yes I understand that the tracking of some exotic airlines will be incomplete. But itâs OK for me. The problem is not the flight tracking. I just think users need to get correct IATA/ICAO informations for airlines and airports Every day I log hundreds of this kind of error.
For the last 4 months I have 348 542 icao/iata codes to check and correct. I will spend my week-end to see which airline has been displayed as an another from the last centuryâŚ
And I donât understand why my posts are flagged as spam⌠I only link to Flightware and WikipediaâŚ
Iâve updated ESF/E7 and deleted EAF. Iâve also updated MNB/MB and removed MB from EXA. As before, it may take a few days for the changes to the schedules to become visible on our website.

Iâve recorded this morning several flight of JC INTERNATIONAL (QD/JCC) flying over Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, TaĂŻwan, China) that are indicated as Air Class Lineas Aereas (VZ/QCL) from Uruguay.
All national/international EMX flights are indicated as operated by Vuelos Exclusivos de Mexico (3W / EMX == dead airline).
3W is Malawian Airlines (3W - MWI)
Every day I log hundreds of this kind of error.
