About FlightAware Flight Tracker

Free, live flight tracker and flight status app from FlightAware for Android! This app allows you to track the real-time flight status and see the live map flight track of any commercial flight worldwide and general aviation (private, charter, etc) in the United States and Canada. Track by aircraft registration, route, airline, flight number, city pair, or airport code. Tracking data includes complete flight details and full-screen maps with NEXRAD radar overlay. Receive real-time push notification flight alerts, view airport delays, see nearby flights (in the sky overhead), and more! Permission to access your Contacts is used only when you choose to create a flight alert to be sent to another person. We do not store or transmit your contacts list in any other way. Please send your feedback to [email protected] Note: Android version 9 or higher is required.

What FlightAware Flight Tracker Is Used For

FlightAware Flight Tracker appears to be a phone app for checking live flight information. Based on the metadata, people commonly use it to follow commercial flights worldwide and, in the United States and Canada, track general aviation flights such as private or charter aircraft. It can be useful when you want to see a flight’s current status, route progress, or estimated movement on a map.

The app also seems geared toward travel planning and coordination. Its metadata mentions airport delays, nearby flights, push alerts, and tracking by flight number, route, airline, airport code, or aircraft registration. Location permissions may support nearby-flight features and map-based flight viewing, while contacts access is only described as being used when sending a flight alert to another person. Because it is a phone app with live maps and notifications, it may be most useful for travelers, people meeting arriving passengers, aviation watchers, and anyone monitoring a specific departure or arrival.
