I'm working on a project aimed at tracking commercial flights and I need to display important details such as departure and arrival airports, actual versus scheduled times, any delays, and gate or terminal assignments. Can anyone recommend a reliable and affordable flight tracking API that offers this information globally?

Just a heads up, if you’re considering FlightAware, you’ll need to contact their sales team for access to tools like Firehose and AeroAPI. I've found their support a bit slow, so it's good to explore other options.
The FlightAPI tracking API could be a good fit too. It contains all the data points you mentioned, and you can see more about it in their documentation.
You might want to look into Cirium; their FlightStats API is well-suited for your needs. It should provide you with the detailed information you're looking for.
Both Flightaware and FlightRadar24 provide APIs for flight tracking. Flightaware is often seen as a leader in this field, so it could be worth checking out their offerings.
Thanks! I will check it out.
