Flighty
Get flight alerts faster than the airlines
Flighty is a live flight tracking app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch that provides real-time flight updates, delay predictions, and gate change alerts faster than airlines. It uses machine learning and Air Traffic Control data to predict delays up to 6 hours before airlines announce them, and tracks inbound aircraft 25 hours in advance. The app also logs a lifetime travel history and lets users share their flight status with friends and family.
Flighty aggregates real-time aircraft tracking data, Air Traffic Control mandates, and machine learning to predict delays and send instant push notifications before airlines or airport boards update their own systems.
