When the FAA issues a ground delay program, we detect it instantly from the live feed. No waiting for an airline email. Taxi-out delays, capacity issues, weather holds—all visible before the gate agent announces it.
Ground delay program timeline
Airlines report delays based on their own operations, crew, and maintenance schedules. FAA data is system-wide—it reflects air traffic control conditions, weather impact, and capacity constraints. More objective, less marketing.
Why FAA data differs from what airlines tell you
Two separate systems, two different views of the same delay
FAA — Air Traffic Control
Government source · objective · system-wide
System-wide congestion
Too many planes in a region at once
Weather impact
Storms, low visibility, crosswinds
Airport capacity
Runway closures, ground stops
Airlines — Operational
Self-reported · includes internal factors
Crew scheduling
Crew unavailability or rest violations
Maintenance issues
Aircraft needing repair before departure
Late inbound aircraft
Previous leg arrived late — cascades forward
We use FAA data — so you see the real picture, not the airline's version of it.
