Company Overview

ADS-B Exchange aggregates aircraft broadcast signals (ADS-B and Mode S) from a global community of over 20,000 receivers. Unlike many other tracking services, ADS-B Exchange does not filter aircraft based on requests. If an aircraft is broadcasting and within coverage, it appears on the map.

In 2023, ADS-B Exchange was acquired by JETNET, strengthening infrastructure and enterprise capabilities while preserving its commitment to transparency and open access
