Flight Schedule Extraction

Departure times, arrival times, flight durations, and aircraft types scraped across the entire Air Arabia network.

Dynamic Fare Tracking

Capture base fares, taxes, and total costs across Basic, Value, and Extra fare tiers. Timestamped per crawl.

Ancillary Fee Mining

Extract baggage costs, meal prices, seat selection fees, and insurance add-ons directly from the booking flow.

Multi-Currency Support

Scrape fares in AED, EUR, USD, or any supported local currency based on point of sale configuration.

Route Network Mapping

Track active routes, seasonal changes, and flight frequencies across all Air Arabia hubs.

Session Management

Maintain valid booking sessions to navigate through flight selection and reach the ancillary pricing pages.

Bot Protection Bypass

Circumvent Akamai and Datadome protections common on airline sites using residential proxies and fingerprinting.

Air Rewards Tracking

Capture the Air Rewards points earned per flight and fare class to model loyalty program value.

Under the hood

How our pipeline handles airline booking flows

Airlines invest heavily in scraping detection to protect their pricing data. Here is how we stay resilient.

Session management
Navigating the booking funnel

Extracting ancillary fees requires advancing through the booking flow. We maintain stateful Playwright sessions, handling cookies and session tokens to reach the seat selection and baggage pages without triggering timeouts.

Anti-bot layer
Residential proxies and fingerprint spoofing

Airline websites use advanced bot mitigation. Our crawlers use residential ISP proxies with realistic browser fingerprints and randomised request timing to blend in with legitimate passenger traffic.

Point of sale pricing
Geolocated fare extraction

Fares change based on the user location. We route requests through specific geographic proxy pools to capture accurate point-of-sale pricing in the target currency.

Dynamic hydration
Capturing JavaScript-rendered fares

Flight results and price grids load dynamically via XHR. We execute full JavaScript rendering to ensure all fare tiers and availability statuses are captured accurately.

Monitoring
Detecting schema drift

Airlines update their booking engines frequently. We monitor selector health and alert on null-rate spikes, ensuring layout changes do not break your data pipeline.

Applications

Who uses Air Arabia data

Teams across industries use airarabia.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Competitor Price Monitoring

Rival airlines track Air Arabia base fares and ancillary fees on overlapping routes to optimise their own pricing strategies.

02
OTA Aggregation

Online travel agencies integrate direct scraped feeds when official API access is restricted or cost-prohibitive.

03
Yield Management

Revenue management teams analyse pricing curves and seat availability over time to model competitor load factors.

04
Travel Analytics

Why DataFlirt

"Air Arabia operates a highly dynamic pricing model where base fares and ancillary fees shift constantly based on load factors and booking velocity."

Extracting low cost carrier data requires more than simple HTTP requests. Travel booking engines use sophisticated session management and bot mitigation. DataFlirt handles the proxy rotation, session hydration, and booking flow traversal required to extract accurate fares and ancillary costs at scale.

Common questions.

About airarabia.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Air Arabia legal?

Scraping publicly available flight schedules and pricing data is generally permissible. We do not bypass authentication walls or extract personal user data. Clients should review relevant terms of service and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you handle bot protection on airline sites?

We use residential ISP proxies, full Playwright browser sessions, and realistic request timing to mimic human behaviour. This allows us to navigate booking flows without triggering standard mitigation blocks.

Can you extract baggage and seat fees?

Yes. Our crawlers navigate past the initial flight selection screen to reach the ancillary pages, capturing baggage tier costs, meal prices, and seat selection fees.

How fresh is the fare data?

We can configure pipelines to run daily, hourly, or at custom intervals depending on your required latency and the size of the route list.

Do you support multi-currency extraction?

Yes. We can configure the scraper to request fares in specific currencies by passing the appropriate parameters and routing through regional proxy IPs.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our packages start at a defined route list with weekly or daily delivery. We price based on route volume, delivery frequency, and the depth of the booking flow required.
