Flights

Our Flight Events data feed combines Spire Global satellite/terrestrial ADS-B flight event data with ch-aviation’s fleet, operator, and airport data providing an overview of all flights operated by airlines, business and general aviation players on a daily basis.

<p><br/></p>

The value of our Flight Events data feed lies in its high-resolution integration of ADS-B flight tracking with ch-aviation’s comprehensive aircraft and operator data, delivering unmatched visibility into global aircraft movements. By identifying the aircraft type and registration for approximately 98% of all ADS-B-tracked flights, we offer an industry-leading solution for lessors, insurers, airports, OEMs, and analysts seeking precise, reliable, and actionable aviation intelligence.

• High-Resolution ADS-B Integration - Satellite and terrestrial ADS-B flight tracking combined with enriched aircraft and operator data for maximum accuracy and visibility

• Comprehensive Aircraft Identification - Aircraft type and registration identified for approximately 98% of all ADS-B-tracked flights, using proprietary matching with ch-aviation data and supplementary publicly available authority data sources.

• Global Flight Coverage - Tracks approximately 160,000–190,000 flights per day across commercial aviation, business jet, and general aviation sectors worldwide.

• ACMI (Wet-Lease) and Cargo Customer Tracking - Detailed monitoring of ACMI operations, including identification of wet-lease activity between different operators as well as cargo customers identifying flights operated for integrators like DHL Express or FedEx as well as cargo customers such as Amazon.

• Aircraft Utilisation Tracking - Tracking of flight hours and cycles at both the operator and individual tail number (aircraft) level

• Matched Operator and Aircraft Data - Every flight is linked to comprehensive ch-aviation datasets, including aircraft ID, history, operator, variant, callsign, and airport details allowing customers to leverage the industry’s most comprehensive integration between ADS-B flight event and fleet/operator/airport data.

• Fallback Data Enrichment - Where ch-aviation data is unavailable, civil aviation authority and ANSP sources are used to ensure continuity in aircraft identification and data accuracy.

• Use Case-Driven Insights - Tailored for industry stakeholders like lessors, insurers, OEMs, airports, and analysts seeking operational, commercial, and technical flight data intelligence.

ch-aviation integrates its Commercial Aviation Aircraft Data and Business Jet Aircraft Data with Spire Global’s satellite-based ADS-B data that is fused by Spire with terrestrial feeds from two terrestrial ADS-B data providers.

<p><br/></p>

This data is enriched with mapped callsigns, corrected hexcodes, regional partnership decoding, and identification of wet-leases and cargo customers, enabling detailed insight into each individual flight.

<p><br/></p>

Where ch-aviation data is unavailable, public data from civil aviation authorities and ANSPs is used to ensure broad and reliable aircraft identification and coverage.

<p><br/></p>

The data set is available historically going back to January 1, 2018.

<p><br/></p>

The data set is updated daily.

<p><br/></p>

The sample data shows flights on 2025-03-30, with Swiss, Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, ASL Airlines Ireland, Jet Aviation Business Jets, and RVR Aviation as operators or wet lease customers (as well as 30 random general aviation aircraft).
