What Flightradar24 actually is

Flightradar24 pools thousands of volunteer-run ADS-B receivers into a single live map of civil aviation. Clicking an aircraft gives you the route, altitude, speed and registration, usually a photograph of that exact airframe, and a vertical profile of the flight so far.

Why it is worth your time

Watching the transatlantic tracks fill overnight and empty again by breakfast exposes a daily rhythm in the sky that is invisible from the ground.
