ADS-B Exchange
The world's largest community of unfiltered ADS-B flight data

ADS-B Exchange is a global, independent flight data network built on a community of over 24,000 active ADS-B receivers that broadcast unfiltered aircraft position data. It provides real-time and historical flight visibility updated every 500 milliseconds, serving enthusiasts, researchers, journalists, and enterprises. The platform offers both a community tracking tool and enterprise subscription data products for real-time and historical global aircraft activity.
A distributed network of community-contributed ADS-B receivers captures raw aircraft broadcasts and aggregates them into a real-time and historical flight data platform accessible via web and API.
