Live positions come from volunteer-run ADS-B receivers via adsb.lol, open data under the ODbL licence. Coverage is dense over North America and Europe and thinner over oceans, deserts and mountains — an aircraft missing from this page is usually out of receiver range rather than out of the sky. Not for navigation or operational use. More about our data.
