Flightradar24

Flightradar24 is a live flight tracking service that shows the real-time position of aircraft around the world by combining data from a network of ground-based receivers, satellite feeds, and official air traffic sources. Visitors can watch planes move on a global map, look up a specific flight number to see its route, altitude, speed, and estimated arrival, and replay past flights in a time-lapse view. The service covers commercial, cargo, and private aviation, and offers airport delay information, weather overlays, and a list of arrivals and departures for major hubs. A companion app extends tracking to mobile devices, while the coverage map shows where volunteer-run receiver stations pick up signals. It serves travelers checking whether a relative's flight is on time, aviation enthusiasts following particular aircraft, and journalists or researchers who need historical flight paths.
