FlightAware
Tracks flights, airport activity, delays, and diversions, with alerts for changes to a journey.
What it is
FlightAware is a flight-tracking service with flight maps, departure and arrival information, airport activity, and status alerts. Search a flight number or airport to follow a journey. Paid products add longer flight histories and more detailed tracking for aviation and business aircraft operations.
Ways to use it
Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.
- Adjust a driver's pickup time when the flight's arrival estimate changes.
- Set flight alerts while coordinating several travelers arriving for the same event.
- Spot a diversion and start checking ground transport and onward-flight options.
- Review airport delays before offering alternative routes during disruption.
- Check available flight history when reconstructing a disrupted itinerary for an expense or service review.
Our take
A useful second view when you are coordinating travel from somewhere other than the airport. It gives you a reason to check in, move a pickup, or investigate alternatives sooner. The airline remains the source for what the traveler should do next.
