Airports and airlines provide flight schedule feeds – structured data streams with scheduled departure and arrival times, routes, and flight details (airline, aircraft type, stops). Logistics and TMS systems consume these feeds to automatically calculate booking capacity, forecast transit times, or intelligently route shipments to available flights. Unlike static flight schedules, feeds are continuously updated and machine-readable – critical for real-time planning. Large freight forwarders integrate multiple flight schedule feeds in parallel to quickly identify fallback routes if a flight is cancelled.
