ADS-B Exchange is way more than a flight tracking map. It’s a global community of aircraft spotters, radio hobbyists, developers, and aviation fans who believe flight data should be open, transparent, and accessible to everyone.

Love tracking planes?
You’re in the right spot

Every aircraft you see on the map is there because someone, somewhere, decided to share their receiver data.

We’re not a closed network. We’re not a walled garden. We’re a community-built platform made stronger every day by enthusiasts around the world.

You don’t need to be an engineer. You don’t need to be an expert. If you love spotting interesting aircraft, you belong here.
