About FlightAware
FlightAware shows real-time, historical and predicted flight tracking on a live map, along with flight status and airport delays for airline, private and general aviation flights. Its tracking draws on a worldwide ADS-B receiver network, and the community shares aircraft photos on the site.
Alongside the public tracker, FlightAware sells business products such as the AeroAPI query API, the Firehose data feed, predictive Foresight tools and private fleet tracking packages. It suits travellers checking a flight and aviation enthusiasts following traffic.
