description: Boeing does not publish a public API rate-limit policy. Boeing's commercial, defense, and
  services businesses operate under contract; integration controls live inside the relevant
  enterprise / fleet agreement (Boeing Global Services, Jeppesen, Digital Aviation Solutions,
  ForeFlight) rather than on a public developer portal.

  contract or product-specific developer documentation (Jeppesen, ForeFlight) when applicable.
