Introduction
Welcome to the Pleiades API documentation. Build integrations with the airline disruption management platform.
What is Pleiades?
Pleiades is an AI-powered airline disruption management platform. When flights are delayed, aircraft go unserviceable, or crew duty limits are breached, Pleiades evaluates thousands of recovery scenarios in seconds and recommends optimal recovery actions — aircraft swaps, delay propagation, cancellations, and passenger re-accommodation.
The Pleiades API gives your systems programmatic access to these capabilities.

https://api.pleiadesaerospace.comWhat you can do
- Run disruption simulations — submit a disrupted flight and receive ranked recovery options with cost/KPI breakdowns
- Retrieve flight data — pull operational schedules and time-windowed snapshots of flights, crew, maintenance, and aircraft
- Tune the solver — customise operational constraints, cost weights, and recovery strategies
- Validate configurations — check your solver config for warnings before running a simulation
