New Flightradar24 ADS-B Receivers Activated in March 2019

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 February, combined with over 20,000 existing receivers, helped us track 5.4 million flights.

New receivers activated in March helped improve our coverage in places like eastern Canada and islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Our MLAT coverage in the United States experienced improvement as well.
