Comprehensive registry of 45,000+ aircraft worldwide including type, operator, registration, and base airport. Updated monthly.
Detailed facility data for 12,000+ airports: runway dimensions, FBO availability, fuel types, customs capability, and operating hours.
Historical and real-time statistics for 10,000+ routes: average flight times, frequency, seasonal demand patterns, and pricing indices.
Historical Jet-A and SAF fuel pricing data from 2015 to present across 500+ locations. Daily granularity with regional breakdowns.
Performance specifications for 200+ aircraft models: range, speed, fuel burn, payload, takeoff distance, ceiling, and noise levels.
Track any active flight in real-time with sub-minute position updates. Covers ADS-B, MLAT, and satellite sources for global coverage.
METAR, TAF, SIGMET, and PIREP data for any airport or waypoint. Includes turbulence forecasts, icing reports, and wind aloft data.
Query detailed airport information via GraphQL: facilities, frequencies, procedures, NOTAMs, and real-time slot availability.
Search and filter active NOTAMs by location, type, and severity. Includes AI-powered plain-English summaries of complex NOTAM text.
TypeScript/JavaScript SDK for calculating flight times between any two points. Accounts for wind, aircraft performance, and routing constraints.
npm package for estimating fuel consumption across 200+ aircraft types. Factors in payload, altitude, temperature, and route distance.
Python library for parsing, validating, and converting between ICAO and IATA airport and airline codes. Includes fuzzy matching.
TypeScript library for converting between aviation-specific units: knots, Mach, flight levels, nautical miles, pressure altitudes, and more.
Lightweight JavaScript library for calculating great circle distances, bearings, midpoints, and intermediate waypoints between coordinates.
Comprehensive research paper analyzing AI adoption across flight operations, maintenance prediction, route optimization, and passenger experience.
In-depth analysis of SAF production pathways, cost trajectories, lifecycle emissions, and adoption barriers in the private aviation sector.
Quarterly market intelligence: fleet utilization trends, demand patterns, pricing movements, and regional growth forecasts for private aviation.
Complete reference of ICAO airport codes with coordinates, elevation, timezone, and associated IATA codes. Machine-readable format.
Open standard for AI agent-to-platform communication in aviation. Defines message formats, tool schemas, and authentication flows for agent interop.
Standardized schema for exchanging flight, aircraft, and booking data between aviation platforms. JSON Schema with validation tooling.
The VOLO Open Source Hub is community-driven. Submit datasets, contribute code, share research — help us build a more transparent and efficient aviation industry.
