What does a red plane mean on Flightradar24? ›

Red: When an aircraft is displayed as red that means that you have clicked on it and are currently following that specific aircraft on the map or that the aircraft's transponder is squawking an emergency code. These codes are 7600 (Communication Equipment Failure), and 7700 (General Emergency).

What is a Squawk Code 7700? A Squawk 7700 indicates an emergency. This can be an emergency of any kind. Pilots may input it into the transponder themselves – or when instructed to do so by ATC. As a result, ground control will know that the aircraft is dealing with a serious issue and needs help.

Flightradar24 is a global flight tracker that shows live air traffic from around the world. Flightradar24 combines data from several data sources including ADS-B, MLAT, satellite, and radar data.

You can simply search for your flight number or route in Google to get up-to-date information. FlightView: FlightView allows you to track a flight, by viewing airport information, and flight alerts.

Websites such as ADSBExchange.com, FlightRadar24.com and FlightAware.com aggregate flight data in the United States and abroad using a mix of commercial and citizen-owned sensors that capture the movements of commercial, civilian and military aircraft in real time, 24 hours a day.

If you have the flight number, FlightAware can provide information about expected departure and arrival times. If you don't have the flight number, the Flight Finder option can help locate the flight number (though you do need to know the aircraft's origin and destination airport).

One way to follow a flight is by checking the flight status on the website of the airline you are travelling with. Another way to track a flight is by using flight tracker apps. Flight following apps are available for Android, iPhone and iPad users.

Use FlightAware to find out how often your flight is typically delayed. Another helpful way to avoid flight delays when you travel is to use FlightAware to see a history of when a particular flight has historically departed and landed.
