Travel tech founders and data engineers who need a complex multi-metric flight data dashboard they can adapt to any aviation dataset
Stack
A ready-made Lisbon Flight Analytics Dashboard UI you can fork, run, and customize with the prompt pack below.
What's actually inside
The honest engineer's breakdown — what the Lisbon Flight Analytics Dashboardtemplate does, how it's wired, and where it's opinionated.
This template models a complete airport operations view for Lisbon (IATA: LIS). The top row is a four-card KPI Strip (shadcn/ui Cards) showing total flights, on-time rate, average delay, and cancellations today — all sourced from mock data on first fork. Below it, a Flight Volume Bar Chart (Recharts BarChart) displays daily or weekly departure/arrival counts, and a Delay Distribution Chart shows a histogram of delay buckets (0–15, 15–30, 30–60, 60+ minutes) as a separate BarChart.
The Airline Performance Table (shadcn/ui Table) lists each carrier with on-time percentage, average delay minutes, and cancellation rate. A Filter Bar — shadcn/ui Select for airline, a date range picker for time window, and a flight status filter — lets users narrow all charts and the table at once. A Route Map Placeholder currently renders as a static SVG or image; replacing it with a live Mapbox map is one of the advanced prompts.
Honest caveats: the Route Map is a static placeholder by default — you need Mapbox or Leaflet integration to make it functional, which requires a server-side dynamic import (ssr: false) to avoid SSR errors. The AviationStack free tier gives you only 100 calls per month, so ISR caching (revalidate = 300) is mandatory from day one. The date filter also has a known timezone mismatch bug: aviation API timestamps are UTC but new Date() in the filter uses local time, producing wrong results until you switch to date-fns-tz parseISO.

Fork it and get it running
This is an Advanced template — budget 10 minutes for the fork and initial setup. The extra time goes into wiring the data source and ISR caching before your first deploy.
Open and Fork
Go to https://v0.dev/chat/community/uF1AtmEf6tF. You'll see the live preview with Lisbon mock data across all charts and the performance table. Click the 'Fork' button in the top-right to copy the project into your V0 account. A new project opens with full source access.
You should see: A new V0 project opens with the Lisbon Flight Analytics Dashboard source code and preview.
Update Airport Branding in Design Mode
Press Option+D to enter Design Mode. Update the airport code from 'LIS' to your target airport's IATA code, change the KPI card subtitles and Filter Bar airline list to reflect your data, and update the Route Map placeholder alt text. Design Mode changes are free — no credits consumed.
Tip: If you're keeping Lisbon as the target, just update the color palette to your brand and skip the IATA changes.
You should see: The preview shows your airport code and updated labels throughout the KPI Strip and Filter Bar.
Wire the Flight Data Fetch with ISR
Type this prompt in the V0 chat: 'Replace the mock flights array with a Server Component fetch from /api/flights?date=2026-07-11 returning { id, airline, departure, arrival, delay_minutes, status }[]. Add export const revalidate = 300 to the route handler so Vercel caches the AviationStack response for 5 minutes.' V0 generates the route handler and updates the Server Component to consume it.
Tip: The revalidate = 300 is not optional if you're using AviationStack free tier — 100 calls/month runs out in hours without ISR caching.
You should see: The /api/flights route is created and the dashboard charts all source from it. The mock data arrays are removed.
Add API Credentials in the Vars Panel
Click the Vars panel in the V0 toolbar. Add AVIATIONSTACK_API_KEY if you're using the AviationStack API, or DATABASE_URL if you're pointing at a Neon Postgres archive. For any value safe to expose to the browser use the NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix; API keys are server-only and must not have the NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix.
You should see: Your API key is available as process.env.AVIATIONSTACK_API_KEY in the route handler with no hard-coded secrets in source code.
Publish to Vercel
Click Share → Publish → 'Publish to Production.' Vercel builds the Next.js project and deploys in under 60 seconds. The ISR cache warms on first visitor request and the AviationStack API is only called once every 5 minutes afterward. You'll receive a live Vercel subdomain URL.
You should see: A live URL loads the Flight Analytics Dashboard with real or cached flight data.
Connect a Custom Domain
In Vercel Dashboard, go to your project → Settings → Domains. Add your domain (e.g. flights.yourtravelapp.com), add the CNAME record at your DNS provider, and Vercel auto-provisions SSL. If NEXT_PUBLIC_MAPBOX_TOKEN is needed for the map, add it here too and redeploy.
Tip: DNS changes propagate in 5–30 minutes depending on your registrar.
You should see: The Flight Analytics Dashboard is live on your custom domain with HTTPS.
The prompt pack
Copy-paste these straight into v0's chat to customize the Lisbon Flight Analytics Dashboardtemplate. Each one names this template's own components — no generic filler.
Localize to a different airport
Rebrands the entire Flight Analytics Dashboard for a different airport without touching any chart or table logic.
Replace all references to 'Lisbon' and 'LIS' in the KPI Strip subtitles, Filter Bar airline Select options, and Route Map placeholder alt text with the airport name and IATA code of my choice. Update the Delay Distribution Chart title to reference the new airport. Keep all existing Recharts chart structures and shadcn/ui components unchanged — only the copy and data labels change.
Add a real-time delay alert badge
Gives visitors an at-a-glance status indicator without reading through the KPI numbers individually.
Add a shadcn/ui Badge next to the KPI Strip that reads 'DELAYS ACTIVE' in red-500 when the average delay KPI card value exceeds 30 minutes, or 'ON TIME' in green-400 when it is 30 minutes or below. Compute this client-side from the existing KPI data prop — no additional fetch needed. Position the badge in the dashboard header row next to the airport code.
Add date range filtering to all charts
Makes the Filter Bar date range picker functional across every data visualization on the page simultaneously.
Wire the existing date range picker state in the Filter Bar to all three Recharts charts (Flight Volume BarChart, Delay Distribution BarChart) and the Airline Performance Table. Filter data client-side using date-fns isWithinInterval so only flights scheduled within the selected date range are included. Add a 'Reset' Button that restores to the default 30-day window and resets the picker to null.
Connect to AviationStack API for real flight data
Replaces mock data with live AviationStack flight data, with ISR caching to stay within the free tier's 100 calls/month limit.
Create app/api/flights/route.ts. Fetch https://api.aviationstack.com/v1/flights?access_key={AVIATIONSTACK_API_KEY}&arr_iata=LIS&limit=100 using the AVIATIONSTACK_API_KEY env var (server-only, no NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix). Normalize the response to { airline, delay_minutes, status, scheduled_departure }[]. Add export const revalidate = 300 so Vercel caches the response for 5 minutes. Replace all mock data in the Airline Performance Table and KPI Strip with data from this Server Component fetch.Add Neon Postgres for historical flight archiving
Builds a flight data archive in Neon Postgres so the dashboard shows historical trends rather than just current-state data from the live API.
Install @neondatabase/serverless. Provision Neon via the V0 Connect panel (this auto-sets DATABASE_URL and DATABASE_URL_UNPOOLED). Create a flights table with columns id, airline, scheduled_at, delay_minutes, status, created_at. Create a Vercel Cron Job at app/api/cron/fetch-flights/route.ts with a vercel.json entry: { 'crons': [{ 'path': '/api/cron/fetch-flights', 'schedule': '*/5 * * * *' }] }. The cron route calls AviationStack and upserts results into Neon using INSERT ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE. Update the Flight Volume BarChart and Delay Distribution Chart to serve historical data from Neon instead of the live API.Embed a Mapbox route map
Replaces the static SVG placeholder with an interactive Mapbox map showing actual flight route lines from Lisbon.
Install mapbox-gl and react-map-gl. Add NEXT_PUBLIC_MAPBOX_TOKEN to the Vars panel. Wrap the Mapbox Map component in dynamic(() => import('./RouteMap'), { ssr: false }) to prevent the 'window is not defined' SSR error. Inside RouteMap, render a Layer of GeoJSON LineStrings for the top 10 Lisbon routes by flight volume, sourced from a static routes.ts file with airport coordinates. Replace the existing static SVG Route Map Placeholder with this interactive map component.Gotchas when you extend it
The failures people actually hit when they push this template past its defaults — and the exact fix for each.
Route Map causes `window is not defined` errorWhy: Mapbox GL JS and react-map-gl access browser APIs (WebGL context) during the Next.js SSR pass, which runs in Node.js where window does not exist.
Fix: Always wrap map components in dynamic() with ssr: false: dynamic(() => import('./RouteMap'), { ssr: false }).
Wrap the RouteMap component in dynamic(() => import('./RouteMap'), { ssr: false }) to prevent window is not defined during SSR when rendering the Mapbox map.Delay histogram X-axis shows numbers instead of bucket labels like '15-30 min'Why: Recharts Bar uses numeric dataKey by default; bucket labels require a custom tickFormatter to convert numeric indices to human-readable strings.
Fix: Add tickFormatter={(value) => delayBucketLabels[value]} to the XAxis component, where delayBucketLabels is an array like ['0-15 min', '15-30 min', '30-60 min', '60+ min'].
Add a tickFormatter prop to the Recharts XAxis in the Delay Distribution Chart that maps numeric bucket indices to human-readable delay range labels like '15-30 min'.
AviationStack API returns 429 after a few page loadsWhy: The AviationStack free tier has a 100 calls/month cap. Without ISR caching, every page view makes a fresh API call and exhausts the limit within hours.
Fix: Add export const revalidate = 300 to the /api/flights route handler so Vercel serves a cached response for 5 minutes between actual AviationStack calls. For production, use Neon to store and serve historical data.
Add export const revalidate = 300 to the /api/flights route handler and add a comment explaining this caches the AviationStack response for 5 minutes to avoid rate limit exhaustion on the free tier.
Date filter shows wrong results due to timezone mismatchWhy: Flight departure times from aviation APIs are UTC timestamps; the browser's new Date() uses local time; date-fns comparisons mixing UTC source data with local time produce off-by-hours filter results.
Fix: Use date-fns-tz parseISO with explicit UTC zone for all date comparisons in the filter logic.
Replace all new Date() calls in the date filter logic with parseISO from date-fns to ensure consistent UTC parsing of aviation API timestamps when filtering the Flight Volume Chart and Airline Performance Table.
Airline Performance Table renders blank on Vercel but shows data in V0 previewWhy: AVIATIONSTACK_API_KEY set in the Vars panel during development may not be configured for the Production environment scope in Vercel Dashboard, so the server-side fetch returns undefined.
Fix: In Vercel Dashboard → Settings → Environment Variables, ensure the API key is set for the Production scope (not just Preview), then redeploy.
Verify all environment variables including AVIATIONSTACK_API_KEY are set for the Production scope in the Vercel Dashboard Environment Variables settings, then trigger a new deployment.
Template vs. custom — the honest call
A forked template gets you far, fast. Here's where it holds up, and where you'll outgrow it.
The template is enough when
- Travel startup investor demo showing a live flight data dashboard
- Airport operations analytics prototype for a hackathon or grant pitch
- Aviation data science project that needs a visualization layer fast
- Airline performance monitoring tool MVP before engaging a backend team
Go custom when
- You need real-time WebSocket feeds with sub-60-second updates from live ATC data
- FAA or Eurocontrol certified data ingestion pipelines with audit trails
- Passenger-facing flight status apps requiring 99.9% uptime SLAs
- Multi-airport network analysis with graph visualizations beyond Recharts capability

Frequently asked questions
Is the Lisbon Flight Analytics Dashboard template free?
Yes. The v0 community template is free to fork with a free V0 account. The code it generates is yours with no licensing fees. Note that the AviationStack API (to get real flight data) has a free tier of 100 calls/month — you'll need ISR caching (revalidate = 300) to stay within that limit.
Can I use this dashboard commercially — in a paid travel product?
Yes. The generated Next.js code is yours to use commercially. shadcn/ui and Recharts are MIT-licensed. Check your data provider's terms separately: AviationStack's free tier has restrictions on commercial redistribution of their data.
Why does my fork break in preview after I add Mapbox or Supabase?
V0's preview sandbox resolves packages through esm.sh. Mapbox GL JS fails because it requires WebGL (browser-only), and some Supabase SSR packages fail to resolve through esm.sh. Both work correctly after deployment to Vercel — always test map and auth features on the deployed URL, not the preview.
How do I change the template from Lisbon to a different airport?
Prompt V0: 'Replace all references to Lisbon and LIS with [your airport name] and [your IATA code]; update the KPI card subtitles, Filter Bar airline options, and Route Map placeholder alt text.' Then update AVIATIONSTACK_API_KEY and change arr_iata=LIS to your airport's IATA code in the API route handler.
How does ISR caching work with the AviationStack API?
Adding export const revalidate = 300 to the /api/flights route handler tells Vercel to serve the same cached response for 5 minutes between actual AviationStack API calls. Your dashboard can handle thousands of visitors but only calls AviationStack once every 5 minutes — well within the 100 calls/month free tier cap.
Why does the date filter show the wrong flights?
Aviation API timestamps are UTC; JavaScript's new Date() uses your local timezone. When a flight is scheduled at 23:30 UTC, it might appear on the wrong day in your local time zone. Fix: use parseISO from date-fns (which assumes UTC) instead of new Date() for all date filter comparisons.
Can RapidDev help me adapt this dashboard for a non-Lisbon airport?
Yes. RapidDev handles the full adaptation — AviationStack API integration for your target airport, Neon Postgres historical archive, ISR caching setup, and Mapbox route map — and delivers it production-ready in 3–5 days.
Does this template work for non-aviation data?
Absolutely. The multi-metric layout (KPI strip, histogram, filterable table, bar charts) is generic enough to repurpose for logistics, bus/rail transit, or any time-series operational dataset. Change the column labels, adjust the delay bucket ranges for your domain, and swap the Route Map placeholder for a relevant visual.
Outgrowing the template?
RapidDev turns v0 prototypes into production apps — real auth, database, and payments — at $13K–$25K.
