Real-time US airport delays, ground stops, and closures from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) SWIM feed. Covers all major US airports with active ground delays, ground stops, arrival/departure delays, closures, and deicing alerts.
What data does it extract?
For each active delay or event, the Actor extracts:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Airport Code | IATA code (e.g., JFK, LAX, ORD) |
| Airport Name | Full airport name |
| Delay Type | Ground Delay, Ground Stop, Closure, Arrival Delay, Departure Delay, Deicing |
| Status | Active, Closed, or Normal Operations |
| Reason | Cause of delay (weather, volume, runway, equipment, etc.) |
| Avg/Max Delay | Average and maximum delay times |
| Start/End Time | When the delay program began and is expected to end |
| NOTAM | NOTAM number and text for the event |
| Coordinates | Latitude and longitude of the airport |
