Live aircraft trackers
Follow the most remarkable aircraft in the sky. Each tracker shows every airframe of that type broadcasting right now, on a live map, plus where the others were last seen.
The Airbus A380 is the largest passenger airliner ever built: a full-length double-decker that typically seats around 500 people. Airbus ended production in 2021, so every A380 on this map belongs to a fixed fleet that will only get smaller.
The Boeing 747 changed air travel when it entered service in 1970. Boeing delivered the last one in January 2023, after 1,574 were built. Today most of the 747s in the sky are freighters, joined by a few passenger fleets and government aircraft.
Airbus builds its airliners in pieces across Europe, and the Belugas fly those pieces between factories. Their bulging upper decks swallow whole wings and fuselage sections, and the BelugaXL even wears a painted smile.
The Dreamlifter is a Boeing 747-400 with a hugely enlarged fuselage, built to fly 787 Dreamliner parts from suppliers around the world to final assembly. Its whole tail swings open to load them.
The Antonov An-124 Ruslan is one of the largest cargo aircraft ever built, a Soviet-era giant that carries what almost nothing else can: locomotives, satellites, power-station turbines and even other aircraft.
The MD-11 is the last of the big three-engine airliners. Passenger service ended in 2014, and after a grounding in 2025, the type now flies almost entirely as a FedEx freighter, mostly at night.
The Airbus A340 was Airbus's four-engine long-haul jet, built alongside the twin-engine A330 with the same wing and cabin. Production ended in 2011, and the remaining A340s are getting rarer every year.
