Central Aviation Tracking

Airport arrivals, departures, and aircraft activity

Choose an airport to explore nearby traffic and any available flight details. Map observations and airport boards are different sources of information, and coverage varies by airport.

Choose an airport tracker

Arriving traffic

Explore aircraft approaching and operating around the airport area.

Departing traffic

Follow aircraft as they leave the airport and continue along their routes.

Airport search

Search by airport code, name or city to move quickly to the field you want to watch.

Start with an airport code

Open an airport-specific tracker so that a city with several airports does not send you to the wrong field. Begin with Atlanta ATL/KATL, Denver DEN/KDEN, Orlando MCO/KMCO or St. Louis STL/KSTL. The directory also includes business-aviation airports.

An approach is not a confirmed arrival

An aircraft near the airport may be passing overhead or operating at a different field. Check its identity and any available airport association before treating it as an arrival or departure. Missing ground positions do not establish that an aircraft is still airborne.

How to read times and missing entries

Where flight information is available, keep scheduled, estimated and actual events separate. A planned time can change, and a stale or missing entry does not confirm cancellation. This page is a guide, not a live timetable; open CAT for available data and verify gates, delays or pickup arrangements with the operator or airport.

Continue with flight routes or tail number search when you know the flight or aircraft you need.
