And where does ITA get it's data. I assume there must be a few competing standards, and the airlines use one of them to give their data to ITA. Why can't other companies get the data directly from the airlines?
ITA get its data from ATPCO (http://www.atpco.net/atpco/aboutatp.shtml) the clearinghouse for flight data.
