Track aircraft
Explore current aircraft activity on an interactive aviation map and select a flight for more context.
Central Aviation Tracking
Live flight tracker and aircraft map
Open the map to explore available aircraft positions, or search for a flight, aircraft or airport. Check the latest observation time to understand how current each result is.
Search quickly
Use a tail number, flight identifier, airport or city to move directly toward the activity you want to inspect.
Keep context
Map layers, routes and saved favorites help you return to the aircraft and airports you follow.
Choose the right way to find your flight
Have a registration? Use the tail number search guide. Know the airport? Start with the airport directory. Following an origin-to-destination journey? Read the flight route guide and confirm the flight identifier before choosing a result.
What does “live” mean on the map?
Aircraft observations arrive at different times. Receiver coverage, source updates and an aircraft’s available signals can affect what appears. A moving marker does not mean every displayed field was measured at that exact instant. Use the observation timestamp and available track details, and treat gaps or missing aircraft as unknown rather than a confirmed landing.
Keep a useful watch list
Save the aircraft and airports you follow in Favorites instead of repeating the same search. Review the current plan limits before building a watch list. For a travel decision, verify flight status with the airline or operator; CAT is an informational tracker, not a boarding or dispatch authority.
