FlightStatus

Free · no account · no clutter

Know where their flight is.

Enter a flight number to see its route, where the aircraft is right now, and when it is expected to land — in the airport’s time and in yours.

Try EK202, BA287, AI101 — or an airport such as Dublin.

How it works

One flight, followed properly

  1. 1

    Enter the flight number

    EK202, BA287, 6E 203 — spacing and case do not matter. FlightStatus works out the airline and the route.

  2. 2

    See where it actually is

    When a receiver is hearing the aircraft, you get its real position, altitude, speed and heading — with the age of the reading beside it.

  3. 3

    Know when it lands

    An arrival estimate worked out from distance remaining and ground speed, in the airport's time and in yours.

What you are looking at

A marker only moves when an aircraft did

FlightStatus is built on open, community-run ADS-B data. When a receiver is hearing the aircraft you get its real position, with the age of the reading beside it. When nobody is hearing it — which is normal over oceans and remote regions — you get the route and a plain sentence saying so.

Nothing is animated along a route to imply movement that has not been observed.

Where the data comes from →
  • Live position

    Shown only when a real aircraft was heard, with how long ago.

  • Estimated arrival

    Distance remaining over ground speed — labelled an estimate, never a schedule.

  • No scheduled times

    Gates, terminals and delays come from airport systems. This deployment says so rather than guessing.

  • No account
