ATIS & active runways

Normalized ATIS, computed active runways, and runway conditions.

This is the part of the API most aggregators skip. D-ATIS broadcasts and raw wind reports get turned into three things you can act on directly: a normalized ATIS object, a computed list of active runways, and per-runway surface conditions.

GET/v1/airports/{icao_code}/atis

Latest normalized D-ATIS broadcast (US only)

GET/v1/airports/{icao_code}/runways/active

Computed active runways from current wind

GET/v1/airports/{icao_code}/runways/conditions

Per-runway contamination breakdown

GET/v1/airports/{icao_code}/weather/wind

Latest available wind

Active runways

We compare live wind against every runway heading on file and return which runways are actively being used for arrivals and departures, along with a confidence score.

ATIS

Wind, visibility, clouds, active runways, NOTAMs, and remarks — all pulled out of the same broadcast, alongside the raw text if you want it too.
