For Agents

Estimate the probability a scheduled flight will be delayed by 30, 60, or 120+ minutes so an agent can warn travellers, adjust connection planning, or trigger proactive rebooking.

Quickstart

Get started with Flight Delay Prediction in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"predict an Amadeus flight delay"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Flight Delay Prediction API.

Estimate probability of delay across four segments (under 30 min, 30-60, 60-120, 120+) for a given scheduled flight

Score upcoming flights in a traveller's itinerary by likely on-time performance

Flag connecting itineraries with high delay probability on the first leg

Trigger proactive traveller communications when a high-delay-probability flight is approaching

View OpenAPI Document

The Amadeus Flight Delay Prediction API estimates the probability that a given scheduled flight will be delayed and assigns it to one of four delay segments — under 30 minutes, 30 to 60, 60 to 120, or over 120 minutes. The single GET endpoint takes the carrier code, flight number, scheduled departure date and time, origin, destination, duration, and aircraft code, and returns probability scores per segment. Travel apps use it to set traveller expectations, suggest tighter or looser connection times, and prioritise rebooking outreach.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Flight Delay Prediction API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Proactive Delay Notifications

Travel apps run a daily job over upcoming bookings, call /travel/predictions/flight-delay for each segment, and email or push-notify travellers whose flight has a high probability of falling into the 60-120 or 120+ delay band. This gives passengers time to leave for the airport later or arrange alternative ground transport without the integrator needing real-time operational data feeds.

For each booking departing in the next 24 hours, call /travel/predictions/flight-delay and send a notification when the combined probability for the 60-120 or 120+ band exceeds 25 percent.

Tighter Connection Risk Scoring

Self-service booking flows score the first leg of any connecting itinerary with the delay endpoint and surface a warning when the layover is short relative to the predicted delay range. The scoring takes a few hundred milliseconds per leg and can be cached for an itinerary's lifetime, so the impact on checkout latency is minimal.

Given a two-leg itinerary with a 50-minute layover, score the first leg's delay probability and return a warning if the 30-60 or 60-120 band combined exceeds 30 percent.

Carrier Comparison on a Route

Corporate travel managers compare expected reliability of competing carriers on the same city pair by calling the prediction endpoint for representative future flights from each carrier. Aggregated over a week of departures, the resulting probabilities feed a simple reliability score used in supplier negotiations.

Call the delay-prediction endpoint for one representative flight per carrier on JFK-LHR for the next 7 days and rank carriers by expected probability of an under-30-minute delay.

Agent-Driven Itinerary Risk Check via Jentic

An AI travel concierge calls Flight Delay Prediction through Jentic for each leg of a customer's upcoming trip and includes the delay risk in the daily briefing. Jentic resolves OAuth and parameter shaping, so the agent only describes the intent and supplies flight metadata.

Call jentic.search('predict Amadeus flight delay'), load the operation, and execute it with carrierCode, flightNumber, scheduledDepartureDate, scheduledDepartureTime, departureAirportCode, arrivalAirportCode, aircraftCode, and duration to return per-segment probabilities.

Key Endpoints

1 endpoints — the amadeus flight delay prediction api estimates the probability that a given scheduled flight will be delayed and assigns it to one of four delay segments — under 30 minutes, 30 to 60, 60 to 120, or over 120 minutes.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Amadeus client_id and client_secret are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Jentic exchanges them for a short-lived bearer token via the client_credentials flow and refreshes it automatically before each delay-prediction call.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent ('predict an Amadeus flight delay') and Jentic returns the /travel/predictions/flight-delay operation with the eight required query parameters described in the input schema.

Time to first call

Direct Amadeus integration: 1 day for OAuth and parameter wiring. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

On-Demand Flight Status

Returns the live operational status of a scheduled flight, complementing the predictive score.

Use when the flight is within 24-48 hours and live status is more useful than a probability.

Alternative

Airport On-Time Performance

Predicts on-time performance at an airport level rather than a specific flight.

Use when the question is about a hub's reliability rather than a specific carrier and flight number.

Complementary

Flight Choice Prediction

Scores offers by likelihood the traveller will pick them; pair with delay risk to surface reliable, attractive options.

Use together when the agent should both rank offers and warn about reliability.

Alternative

Trip Purpose Prediction

Different prediction model focused on whether a trip is business or leisure rather than delay risk.

Use when segmenting travellers by purpose rather than scoring operational risk.

FAQs

Specific to using Flight Delay Prediction API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Flight Delay Prediction API use?

Amadeus Self-Service OAuth 2.0 client_credentials. Exchange client_id and client_secret at https://api.amadeus.com/v1/security/oauth2/token for a bearer token and pass it in the Authorization header. Through Jentic, the credentials are kept in the encrypted vault and the bearer token is rotated automatically before each prediction call.

Which fields do I have to send to get a prediction?

All eight query parameters are required: originLocationCode, destinationLocationCode, departureDate, departureTime, arrivalDate, arrivalTime, aircraftCode, carrierCode, flightNumber, and duration. Missing any of them returns a 400 from /travel/predictions/flight-delay.

What are the rate limits for the Flight Delay Prediction API?

Amadeus Self-Service Test environment caps prediction endpoints at 10 transactions per second per API key with a fixed monthly quota; Production limits scale with your Self-Service plan tier. Bearer tokens expire after roughly 30 minutes and must be refreshed.

How do I score a flight's delay risk through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then call jentic.search('predict Amadeus flight delay'), load the operation, and execute it with the eight required parameters. Jentic handles the OAuth exchange and calls /travel/predictions/flight-delay, returning the delay-segment probabilities.

Does the API tell me the actual delay in minutes?

No. It returns a probability per segment (under 30 min, 30-60, 60-120, 120+). To translate into an expected value, multiply each midpoint by its probability and sum, but treat the output as a risk band rather than a precise prediction.

Is the Flight Delay Prediction API free?

The Test environment is free with limited monthly quota. Production access is metered per transaction under an Amadeus Self-Service plan; pricing is published on the Amadeus for Developers portal.
