Need help regarding EstArrivalAirport was created by samD54321

I am trying to build an app that shows the real time position of a unique call sign and its Departure airport and Arrival airport. As the estArrivalAirport and estDepartureAirport responses are only available through the /flights/all request and it is only available for the previous day, is there any way around that problem to get estArrivalAirport of a flight from /states/all request?

No, even if we ran our scripts somewhat live instead of nightly --- aircraft do not broadcast their arrival airport via ADS-B, and so we can only estimate after it has actually happened.

And then, it is no longer estimated :-)

Well, we extrapolate, unless we have full ground coverage. See also the FAQ opensky-network.org/about/faq#q13
