"I’m trying to retrieve historical flight data for a particular airline on a specific route within a given timeframe. Can I do this using only the airline’s IATA code (operator_iata) and without specifying the individual flight number (ident)?
Retrieving historical data for a particular operator is on the product roadmap and being worked on right now for release soon! You can expect to see the ability to request historical information by operator, by airport, or by city pair incrementally over the next couple months.

Hi Tammy,
Could you provide an update on the current status of this?
We are getting really close! Not a firm date, but in the coming weeks you will see a few new releases with enhanced historical data access. We are just fine tuning things right now to ensure all performs to our high standards.
The current AERO API subscription plans (Enterprise and Enterprise WX) provide access to a maximum of 8 months of historical flight data, while your full database appears to extend back to January 2011.
Is it possible to access flight history for the past 4 years? If so, what would be the process or requirements to obtain that level of access?
