FAQs

Can I track a flight in real time? ›

Flight tracking apps and websites track flights in real time, all over the world. They're used to check the status of a flight, see if an inbound aircraft has any anticipated delays, observe the weather radar throughout the flight path, view the exact route a plane is taking, and determine what type of aircraft it is.

Flightradar24 is a global flight tracking service that provides you with real-time information about thousands of aircraft around the world.

Navigate to the airport of your interest and click either “Arrivals” or “Departures”. Then scroll through the list and click your flight. From there you can check aircraft info, flight info, playback, and show the flight on map (if it's live).

Flightradar24 has a rapidly growing network of 35,000 ground stations to receive this data that then shows up as aircraft moving on a map in the app. In an expanding number of regions, with the help of multilateration (MLAT), we're able to calculate the positions of aircraft that don't have ADS-B transponders.

Flightradar24 is a free app and includes all the above features. If you want even more great features from Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker there are upgrade options—Silver & Gold—and each comes with a free trial.
