[Feature] My flightradar24 import: upsert flights instead of duplicate

I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

If two export files from my flightradar24 with the same flights are imported, airtrail inserts duplicate flights, which doesn't make sense if this flight already exists for the same user. IMHO, using an upsert strategy is much more expected than having to delete all flights before each import of updated data or manually delete 100 duplicates (and this number will grow over time).

There's a de-duplication tool available at /tools/deduplicate, but I agree that avoiding duplicates during import would be much more convenient. I’ll consider adding an option for that.

Manually adding flights to three different places is too much, I thought I could just periodically import a file from My Flightradar and it would update the data.

This has just been added in v2.7.0! By default, importing flights will check for duplicates and ignore those now.
