The numbers are in! Thanks to our industry-leading ADS-B receiver network powered by tens of thousands of hosts around the world, we tracked 63,136,442 flights in 2018, over 4 million more than 2017. (more…)
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 November, combined with over 20,000 existing receivers, helped us track over 5 million flights.
New receiver kits are sent to locations that will expand our coverage are or most improve existing MLAT coverage. In places like Ecuador, Russia, and Papua New Guinea new receivers are helping track more ADS-B equipped flights, while new receivers in the United States and Iran are increasing our MLAT coverage.
Here’s the full map of all receivers activated during November (click to expand).

If you’d you like more information about our application process, you can read more about it in our blog post.

In April, we activated nearly 100 receivers, adding coverage in some helpful locations. A new receiver in Eureka, Canada is providing excellent coverage of polar flights and our transpacific coverage got a boost from a new receiver in far eastern Russia. These receivers and the tens of thousands of others that make up the Flightradar24 network helped us track over 5.1 million flights and set a new single day record of 191,583 flights! (more…)

This week we continued to expand MLAT coverage in Russia, India, South Africa, and Brazil. We also continued to expand our coverage areas in the United States. (more…)
Last week, we explored our map of new receivers for the first half of 2015. This week we take a look at the first half of July. In the past two weeks we’ve activated over 50 receivers, most of which have helped increase our MLAT coverage. We also activated new receivers in Bermuda and Funchal, Portugal, which will help with southern Atlantic coverage. (more…)
