Integrating your Flight Schedule

As part of our insight dashboard, we support visualization of flight schedules on monitored airports. We have the FAA SWIM scheduled flights already for the next 24 hours integrated into the platform for customers with flight schedules access. You can also integrate your own flight schedule into our platform to visualize takeoff and landing times in your insight dashboard and control the coverage and frequency of data updates.
