Kuwait Airport

This application is about to check the Arrival and Departure schedule on Kuwait International Airport. It's good that Kuwait Airport is providing the data on their website. I love it when some companies providing useful data to public.

How the application work

The app taking the data directly from Kuwait Airport website (here, and here), parse the HTML table to be JSON data. I may say, the Yahoo Query Language (YQL) does a very good job here. So when your android asking to get the data, my PHP file is requesting data from YQL to execute Kuwait Airport website and send the result as JSON. After that, I just need to organize the result to be able to read by your Android phone.

That mean, if Kuwait Airport website is changing their HTML data, my application won't work as expected.
