Terms of Use

Last updated: April 2025

Important: Historical Data Only

FlightDelayBoard provides historical flight delay statistics for travel planning purposes only. This service does notprovide real-time flight status, live delay information, or current gate assignments. For your actual flight status, always use your airline's official app, website, or the FAA's official resources.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using FlightDelayBoard (the "Service") at flight-delay-board.vercel.app, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time; continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.

2. Nature of the Service

FlightDelayBoard is a historical data reference tool. Specifically:

  • All delay statistics are derived from the US Department of Transportation (DOT) Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) On-Time Performance database.
  • Data is updated quarterly and reflects historical performance over prior reporting periods, not current or future flight performance.
  • On-time rates, average delay minutes, and delay cause breakdowns reflect past patterns and are intended to help with general travel planning, not specific flight predictions.
  • The Service does not connect to any airline operations system, FAA live data feed, or airport operations database.

3. Not a Real-Time Flight Status Service

FlightDelayBoard is NOT a real-time flight tracker. Do not rely on this service for:

  • Current flight departure or arrival times
  • Live gate assignments or terminal information
  • Real-time delay alerts or cancellation notices
  • Current weather-related flight status
  • Any information about a specific upcoming or current flight

For real-time flight status, use official sources:

  • Your airline's official website or mobile application
  • FAA Air Traffic Control System Command Center: fly.faa.gov
  • Airport official websites and departure/arrival boards

4. Accuracy of Data

While we strive to present BTS data accurately, FlightDelayBoard makes no warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of the information presented. The underlying BTS data may contain reporting errors, revisions, or methodology changes. Statistics are aggregated and rounded for display purposes. Do not use FlightDelayBoard data for legal, regulatory, or commercial aviation purposes.
