flight tracker

Airplane location service

A flight tracker is a service or application that monitors aircraft in real time, showing position, altitude, speed, and route.

Airlines provide them for checking arrival times, while aviation enthusiasts use dedicated sites to watch air traffic globally: I pulled up the flight tracker to see if her plane had landed yet.
