Flights in the sky right now

5,337 aircraft are in the air right now, worldwide (checked ). Zoom the map to any airport or city to see the planes overhead, which way each one is heading, how high and how fast. Emergency transponder codes are listed below the map.

Positions come from thousands of volunteer receivers (adsb.lol) and refresh every 30 seconds. Information only: not for navigation, and not an airline status page.

Emergency transponder codes right now

No aircraft were squawking an emergency code in the latest check.

A squawk code is a four-digit number a plane’s transponder sends to air traffic control. 7700 means the crew declared an emergency, 7600 means radio failure, and 7500 is the code for unlawful interference, which is sometimes keyed by mistake. A code alone is not a confirmed incident, and most emergencies end with a normal landing. Checked .

Common questions

Why can I not see every plane in the world at once?
The free community data source answers one area at a time, so the map shows the planes in the area you are looking at. Zoom in to an airport or a city and they appear; the world count above is for the whole planet.
How current are the positions?
A few seconds to a minute behind. The map asks for fresh positions every 30 seconds while this tab is open, and the number of aircraft in the air worldwide is re-read every 2 minutes.
Why is the plane I am on, or waiting for, missing?
Positions come from volunteers with radio receivers, so coverage is thinner over oceans, deserts and polar areas, and some aircraft do not share their position publicly. For your own flight, use your airline or airport for the official status.
Where are the airport delays?
United States ground stops and ground delay programs are on the Travel Live airports section and on the United States page.
