Live Airport Surface Movement Data Feed (Worldwide)

Import a live data feed of surface movement positions at over 300 worldwide airports (for application developers and professional users).

Coverage

FlightAware operates a worldwide network of ADS-B (Mode S) ground station receivers that track Mode S (via MLAT) and ADS-B-equipped aircraft on the ground at dozens of airports around the globe. For non-ADS-B equipped airplanes, FlightAware leverages airport surface detection equipment at over 35 airports.

Airport Surface Movement Data Feed Samples

FlightAware data feeds are available in a variety of formats (e.g., CSV, TSV, JSON, XML) so you can receive exactly what you need for your development project. All methods include positions with timestamp, Mode S code, altitude (flight level), position (latitude/longitude), groundspeed, heading, and optionally the aircraft identification, registration, and FlightAware Flight ID.

Worldwide Firehose Streaming TCP ADS-B Flight Data Feed (Live)

FlightAware offers a TCP-based, SSL streaming data feed of all airport flight data positions received by FlightAware. Developers will need to write a client application (examples) to connect to FlightAware and process messages in real-time.

Developers interested in global airborne flight positions can also use FlightAware Firehose.
