- Mobile apps (iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, WP7, Symbian).
- Flight alerts (via email, text message, Facebook, Twitter) including pre-arrival notifications.
- Flight radar track log (time, latitude, longitude, speed, heading) with graphs.
- Gate assignments, times, and delays for airline flights.
- Aircraft photos for over 100,000 aircraft, live aviation news, and aviation email newsletters.
"(F)light tracking technology and services are a tremendous tool for pilots, dispatchers, and airports, as well as airline passengers," FlightAware CEO Daniel Baker, said. "We are excited to be able to expand our reach and offer all of our services to the Australian aviation community."
The company also offers commercial services for FBOs (FBO ToolBox) to streamline their airport handling operations, an API (FlightXML) for software developers to use FlightAware's live flight data and commercial reports for industry stakeholders, as well as premium accounts for power users. Australian aircraft operators that do not wish for their flight details to appear on FlightAware.com can opt-out by contacting FlightAware. FlightAware also offers a commercial product for operators that opt-out but would like to retain secure, selective access to their flight details.
