Flight number collision detector

Create a tool that identifies potential flight number conflicts across airlines. Help prevent duplicate booking references.

Why now

As air travel recovers, operational errors like duplicate flight numbers are causing increasing confusion.

Who for
airline operations teams
Business model

Effort
A few weeks

Duplicate flight numbers between airlines cause passenger confusion and operational headaches when systems can't distinguish between flights.

Build a database that tracks active flight numbers across airlines and alerts when duplicates are detected.

Sell to airlines and travel tech companies as an API service.

MVP could just scan published schedules for collisions.

Risk: Airlines may be reluctant to share scheduling data.
