Could you build this?
Partial The API and alerting layer is standard, but flight status data is licensed from upstream aggregators, and reliable real-time feeds are expensive and hard to obtain.
What it would actually take: Build a REST API, webhook/push alert system, and developer portal on top of a licensed flight data feed (such as FlightAware, OAG, Cirium, or airline and airport feeds). The hard parts are data licensing, ingesting and normalizing messy real-time updates with low latency, and uptime at scale. That requires aviation data relationships and streaming infrastructure engineering.
