Flightradar24 Flight Tracker for iPhone

Live worldwide flight monitoring

Flightradar24 offers a free app that brings live flight tracking to your phone. It's the no-cost tier of one of the most widely used commercial flight-tracking services, giving users real-time positions, flight details and route information.

Improvements in the newest version

The latest update focuses on making it faster and more intuitive to find specific flights. Navigation has been simplified so you can reach the information you want with fewer taps.

Fast search shortcuts

Use the search field to jump straight to flights by:

• Destination country (quickly show all aircraft heading to a particular nation)
• Major airport hubs (filter flights connected to a specific airport)
• Airline short codes or abbreviations (enter carrier identifiers to locate their flights)

These shortcut options are all available directly from the app’s search bar.

Find aircraft near you

There’s also a convenient nearby-aircraft feature. If you spot a plane overhead and want to know where it’s going, the app can list flights in your immediate area so you can identify the aircraft and its destination.

Recommended alternative for rail travel

If you’re looking for a free train booking tool, consider Trainman — a no-cost option for PNR checks and ticketing that many users find useful as a complement to flight-tracking tools.
