Populate flights

• The challenge is to get the Flight data populated such that you have the schedule of flight past and present as far as possible.
• For the updated times (ie delays/cancellations) you need to scrape the live site from the airport (eg gva.ch for Geneva airport,  https://www.hermesairports.com/flight-info/arrivals-and-departures-pfo for Pathos)
  • So practically there are two tasks, 
    1. Build the forward schedule (so clients can book a trip say 2 weeks in advance
    2. Check and update live times on the day of the flight. 
       1. And the objective is to then marry that data
       2. In absence of the list of flights, can we scrape kayak for all the destinations served by the airport to build a list of flights?
• Chat GPT tells me the PFO site is easy to scrape as simple HTML, but the GVA site is harder
• The basic idea is that we should get updated flight info from the live sites (gva.ch for Geneva and https://www.hermesairports.com for Pathos) but use aviationstack free account to get the schedule a rolling 3 months in advance

• On Tuesday, can you work on the scrapers for PFO and GVA?
