Missing flights

Hello,
I'm testing the API to track a specific flight.  just discovered a missing flight and I'm curious why this is happening.
The flight by aircraft gives my this:

flights by aircraft :   '48c130'    '20-03-2023 13:25:48'   '20-03-2023 20:18:00' 
flights :      '48c130' 'RYR3AP  '   '20-03-2023 17:37:55' '20-03-2023 20:00:27' 'EYVI' None
flights :      '48c130' 'RYR1819 '   '20-03-2023 11:24:07' '20-03-2023 13:25:48' 'EYVI' 'EHEH'

The RYR3AP is a flight from EYVI to Paris (BVA)
But this aircraft has departed from EHEH at 14:10 and arrived at 17:30 at EYVI
I looked this up on

I'm a doing something wrong or is the data really missing?
Thanks

As noted in the API, live tracks are experimental - we batch process the data at night, after which it should be included.

These are the flights, the API returns today when requesting data for he whole day for the given aircraft:

The airport detection seems to fail here confusing LFOB and LFPC which may be due to low ground coverage. Here, the optimum would be to match aircraft positions with schedules or at least typical flight connections of that airline.

Or just improve ground coverage. :) No, agreed, there's potential for improving the airport detection, too.
