FlightAware AeroAPI

FlightAware is a leading provider of real-time and historical flight tracking data, providing comprehensive insights into the global aviation industry. Originally founded in 2005, the brand rose to prominence as the first company to offer free flight tracking services for both private and commercial aircraft in the United States, eventually expanding its coverage worldwide through a massive network of terrestrial ADS-B receivers.

In 2021, the brand underwent a significant transition when it was acquired by Collins Aerospace, a unit of Raytheon Technologies (now known as RTX Corporation). This acquisition integrated FlightAware's advanced data capabilities into one of the world's largest aerospace and defense conglomerates. Today, the software is developed and maintained in the United States, serving as a critical infrastructure tool for airlines, airport operators, and aviation enthusiasts globally.
