Is it good for my case?

Is an enthusiast-driven API good for your case? Well, that depends!

We don’t have the worldwide coverage or the best possible quality, but in exchange, we provide this API at rates much lower than average on the market.
If you’re developing a small aviation or hospitality application or website that doesn’t have much demand for data precision and quality, our API may be just right for you as it helps you to avoid significant charges billed by bigger companies.
However, you are discouraged to use our API for mission-critical products, and even NOT ALLOWED if your product is involved with real-life aircraft operations or navigation!
