Worldwide live ADS-B aircraft map

Live aircraft tracker

Search live airplanes around the world and locate them on GeomStrat's interactive 3D globe. The aircraft search can match a transmitted flight callsign, an ICAO24 hex ID, aircraft registration, aircraft type or origin country.

Tip: callsigns such as VLG7PG are often the most useful strings to copy into a web search.

What you can search

Flight callsign

Search the identifier transmitted by the aircraft, such as an airline-style callsign. When available, GeomStrat also makes this callsign easy to copy from a selected aircraft.

ICAO24 aircraft ID

Search the aircraft's six-character ICAO24 hexadecimal transponder identity when you know the airframe ID rather than its current flight callsign.

Aircraft registration

Find a live contact by tail or registration number when the upstream feed provides it.

Type and country

Broaden a search by aircraft type or origin country, then select a matching contact to locate it on the globe.

Live airplane map

Enable the Live aircraft (ADS-B) layer in GeomStrat to display worldwide aircraft as fixed-size radar contacts. Select an aircraft to pin it, inspect available flight information and use its callsign for further research. Live coverage and individual fields depend on the public upstream aircraft feeds and may change from one snapshot to the next.

Aircraft and geographic context together

The same globe can show airports, ports, submarine cables, terrestrial fibre, energy infrastructure, pipelines, power plants and other public geospatial layers. This lets you inspect an airplane in geographic context instead of using a separate flat flight list.
