About Airplanes.Live
Read the Airplanes.Live FAQ for common answers to questions.
Airplanes.Live was founded by four passionate aviation enthusiasts with a dedicated focus on serving the aviation community. Our website merges multiple receivers to capture ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) and MLAT (Multilateration) data, consolidating feeder data to deliver real-time aircraft data, both in your local area and across the globe. Our mission is to establish an enduring, cost-effective data source for the aviation community, emergency services, developers, and anyone with an interest in aviation, all in the pursuit of the public good.
In recent years, the aviation enthusiast community has witnessed the sale of several aviation-related entities, both commercial and non-commercial. Notably, platforms like FlightAware, FlightRadar24, and ADSBExchange impose substantial fees for data and API access. Our unwavering objective has been to establish a worldwide aviation data aggregation platform that remains accessible to all aviation enthusiasts.
