Track flight status, get schedules and routes information with our Discover Airlines API

Discover Airlines (IATA 4Y, ICAO OCN) is the leisure airline of the Lufthansa Group, flying since July 2021 from its bases at Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC). It operates a fleet of Airbus A320 and A330 aircraft (with the A350 on the way) on holiday routes to Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas, plus Mediterranean short-haul. The AirLabs API is built from the ground up and lets you track Discover Airlines flights — along with thousands of other airlines — through a single integration.

Note: Discover Airlines was known as Eurowings Discover until its rebranding in September 2023.

How to use the Discover Airlines API to track a live flight

curl "https://airlabs.co/api/v9/flights?airline_iata=4Y&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY"

Query the /flight endpoint with a real flight code-number (for example 4Y136) — it returns the single closest live, scheduled or landed flight with position, status and full aircraft details:

curl "https://airlabs.co/api/v9/flight?flight_iata=4Y136&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY"

{
  "hex": "3C6566",
  "reg_number": "D-AIKF",
  "flag": "DE",
  "lat": 42.800937,
  "lng": 17.710916,
  "alt": 11678,
  "dir": 131.4,
  "speed": 923,
  "v_speed": 0,
  "flight_number": "136",
  "flight_icao": "OCN136",
  "flight_iata": "4Y136",
  "dep_icao": "EDDF",
  "dep_iata": "FRA",
  "arr_icao": "HKMO",
  "arr_iata": "MBA",
  "airline_icao": "OCN",
  "airline_iata": "4Y",
  "aircraft_icao": "A333",
  "updated": 1792523385,
  "status": "en-route"
}

This is a live example (Discover Airlines flight 4Y136, Frankfurt → Mombasa, Airbus A330-300). The full response also includes scheduled and estimated times (dep_time / arr_time and their _utc / _ts and _estimated forms), terminals, gates, delays, codeshare and extended aircraft specs (model, manufacturer, msn, built, age); a given flight returns only the fields that apply to it.
