Partial The Android UI and alert logic are buildable, but gate changes, plane swaps, and inbound-aircraft delays depend on real-time flight data feeds that are licensed and costly.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a commercial flight-status data provider (e.g., FlightAware or OAG) with gate, aircraft-registration, and tail-number tracking. The app would also need push notifications, background sync, and battery-efficient polling. Data licensing, not code, is the main barrier.
