Returns information about the owner of an aircraft, given a flight number
or aircraft registration. Data returned includes owner's name, location (typically
city and state), and website, if any. Codeshares and alternate idents are
automatically searched. Specific owner name information is limited to ownership
within the US (sourced by the FAA), Australia, and New Zealand. Note that while
this information is updated weekly, there may be a lag in upstream data sources
reflecting a change in ownership.
