New Flightradar24 ADS-B Receivers Activated in April 2019

Share this article

Each month we send out complete ADS-B receiver kits that include an ADS-B receiver, antennas, and all necessary cabling to qualified hosts. You can apply to host one of our receivers or easily build your own. The dozens of new Flightradar24-supplied receiver kits and the hundreds of home-built receivers activated in April combined with over 20,000 existing receivers, helped us track 5.5 million flights.

New receivers activated in April helped improve our coverage in places like Australia, Russia, and Indonesia. Our MLAT coverage in the United States experienced improvement as well.
