Features

• 🛩️ NOTAM Retrieval - Get active NOTAMs for specific airports
• 🕐 Time Filtering - Query NOTAMs for specific date/time ranges
• 📊 Rich Interpretations - Access AI-generated interpretations of NOTAM data
• 🌍 Global Coverage - Support for worldwide airports using ICAO codes
• 📄 Pagination - Handle large result sets automatically
