TheAirTraffic
Community ADS-B flight tracking with live and historical aircraft data.
TheAirTraffic is a web-based flight tracking service from Ground Control that aggregates aircraft position data from a community ADS-B network. It offers a live map, feeder tools, network statistics, and access to both current and historical air traffic information.
Why it stands out
- Emphasizes broad access to aircraft tracking data, including historical as well as live information.
- Built around a community ADS-B feeder network rather than only closed commercial sources.
- Includes contributor-facing tools such as feeder status, feeder maps, and MLAT sync stats.
- Connected to Ground Control’s flight bot ecosystem, making the data useful beyond the website itself.
Good to know
- Coverage and multilateration quality depend on where community feeders are active.
- The homepage mentions historical data but does not clearly describe public export options or query limits.
- As a newer service launched in 2023, its network depth may vary by region compared with older trackers.
Under the radar: If you set up a receiver, use both the Feeder Status and MLAT Sync Stats pages after configuration; being online is not the same as contributing usable multilateration data.
