Predictably, FlightCaster, which attempts to alert travelers about flight delays before they occur, introduced a public API and a licensing model to enable developers, online travel agencies, airlines and travel management companies to integrate FlightCaster into their own applications.

Developers can get more information about the API at http://api.flightcaster.com/.

FlightCaster’s value proposition is that travelers — and corporations — have an insatiable desire to figure out if passengers are likely to spend five hours on the tarmac or if their flights will be canceled.
