The Airline Intelligence panel (internal id airline-intel) is the dashboard’s civil-aviation command surface. It tracks a user-curated watchlist of airports and routes, surfaces delay and cancellation severity, tracks specific aircraft, and can quote real-time flight prices across a date grid. Built as six tabs so each aspect renders on its own without cross-panel context switching.

​
What the panel shows

Six tabs under a shared airport + route watchlist control: TABS is declared as ['ops', 'flights', 'airlines', 'tracking', 'news', 'prices'] as const in src/components/AirlineIntelPanel.ts:54. Watchlist comes from aviationWatchlist.get() — the first 8 airports and the first route are seeded on mount. Panel id is airline-intel; canonical component is src/components/AirlineIntelPanel.ts. Title resolves from i18n (panels.airlineIntel).

​
How you reach it

  • Cmd+K: type airline, flight, or an IATA code.
  • Availability by variant: registered and enabled by default in the full/geopolitical (priority: 2), tech (priority: 2), finance (priority: 2), and commodity (priority: 2) variants. Not present in the happy variant. Source: 'airline-intel' entries in FULL_PANELS (:104), TECH_PANELS (:280), FINANCE_PANELS (:471), and COMMODITY_PANELS in src/config/panels.ts.

​
Data sources

The panel uses @/services/aviation, which wraps the generated AviationServiceClient. Flight-delay alerts can arrive through bootstrap hydration first; the tab-specific calls below are direct REST RPCs.

Refresh cadence

Three distinct refresh paths in src/components/AirlineIntelPanel.ts:
  • Auto-refresh timer — the panel constructor sets a 5-minute setInterval (5 * 60_000) that calls refresh(), which reloads the ops tab and the currently-active tab. Source: the constructor around line 173 (setInterval(() => void this.refresh(), 5 * 60_000)).
  • Tab switch — switching to ops, flights, airlines, tracking, or news triggers loadTab(tab) only when that tab’s cache is empty. Repeated switches to an already-loaded tab repaint from memory without a refetch.
  • Prices tab — explicit fetch only — the prices tab is deliberately excluded from both the tab-switch and auto-refresh paths. Prices load only on an explicit search-button click (the refresh() helper skips prices with if (this.activeTab !== 'prices') void this.loadTab(this.activeTab) around line 291; the tab-switch guard is commented prices tab: never auto-fetch — only on explicit search button click around line 287).
