Is FlightAware Down Right Now?
No, FlightAware is working normally right now. The flight tracker, live maps, and airport delay pages are all loading. If a specific flight is missing from the map, that is usually a tracking limitation, not a FlightAware outage.
FlightAware tracks thousands of flights using ADS-B signals, radar data, and airline feeds. It is one of the most used flight trackers in the world. When the site itself has problems, this page shows live FlightAware status and user reports.
Is FlightAware Down for Me or Everyone?
Check the chart above. A real FlightAware outage shows many reports at once. If only you are having trouble, try a hard refresh or a different browser. Most “FlightAware is down” complaints turn out to be a single flight that cannot be tracked.
Why Can’t I Track My Flight on FlightAware?
The most common reason is that the aircraft owner blocked it. Under privacy programs, private jet owners and companies can ask tracking sites to hide their planes. Military aircraft are also hidden. The flight is still flying, you just cannot see it on public maps.
Coverage gaps cause the rest. Over oceans, deserts, and polar regions there are few ground receivers to pick up signals, so planes vanish from the map until they re-enter covered airspace. Older planes with basic transponders also fail to show full position data.
Timing matters too. Flights only appear once they are close to departure and the airline files data. Searching for a flight hours early or typing the wrong flight number gives you an empty result that looks like a site error.
Why Is FlightAware Showing Wrong Flight Information?
Delays in data feeds cause most errors. FlightAware blends many sources, and when an airline updates a gate or time late, the site shows old info for a while. Position data can also lag a few minutes behind reality, so the map is never perfectly live.
Why Is the FlightAware App Not Loading?
App problems are usually local. An outdated app version, a full cache, or a weak connection stops maps from loading. Updating the app and clearing its cache fixes most cases. If the website works but the app does not, reinstall the app.
Why Are Some Flights Blocked on FlightAware?
Aircraft owners can join block lists run by aviation authorities. Once blocked, tracking platforms must hide the plane’s registration and flight path. This is legal and common for corporate jets, government planes, and anyone who values privacy.
Common FlightAware Problems and Fixes
Flight not showing up
Double-check the flight number and date. The flight may be blocked for privacy or outside coverage. Try again closer to departure time.
Map is frozen or blank
Refresh the page. If the map stays blank, clear your browser cache or try a different browser. Ad blockers sometimes break the map.
Wrong arrival or departure time
Airline feeds update with delays. Cross-check with the airline’s own site for the latest times. The tracker usually catches up within minutes.
App crashes on open
Update the app to the latest version. If it still crashes, clear the app data or reinstall it completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my flight not on FlightAware?
The flight may be blocked for privacy, flying outside receiver coverage, or too far from departure. Check the flight number and try again closer to takeoff.
Is FlightAware down right now?
FlightAware is working normally. If the site will not load for you, try a hard refresh or another browser. Missing flights are usually tracking limits, not outages.
Why do planes disappear from FlightAware mid-flight?
Planes fly out of receiver coverage over oceans and remote areas. The track resumes when the aircraft re-enters covered airspace. This is normal.
Can private jets block FlightAware tracking?
Yes. Owners can join privacy programs that require tracking sites to hide their aircraft. Military planes are also excluded from public tracking.
Why is FlightAware data delayed?
The site combines many data feeds that update at different speeds. Position and schedule info can lag a few minutes behind real time.
Is FlightAware free to use?
Yes, basic flight tracking is free. FlightAware also sells premium plans with extra features like more alerts, history, and advanced maps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn’t my flight appear on FlightAware?
Some flights never appear because the operator blocks public tracking, or the aircraft has no compatible transponder. Search by route and date if the flight number finds nothing. Private and military flights are hidden by design.
How do I fix the FlightAware map when it shows no aircraft?
An empty map usually means a filter is hiding traffic, or the map data failed to load. Clear all filters and reload the map. Zooming in on a busy airport area confirms whether planes load at all.
Why does FlightAware need my location always?
‘Always’ enables arrival detection and background traffic alerts. ‘While using’ is enough for basic navigation. Review which level you actually need.
Which time should I trust when FlightAware says on time but the airline says delayed?
FlightAware updates times from airline and airport feeds, and one feed can lag behind the other. Check the flight page again near departure, since times refresh as new data arrives. The airline’s own app is the final word on gate changes.
Does FlightAware work abroad?
Most navigation apps work worldwide with downloaded maps. Roaming data charges apply without offline downloads. Some features like live traffic vary by country.
