Introduction

Designed as the lightest and most accessible of flights datasets, the Flight Report in csv delivers all the key insights for flights tracked globally via ADS-B. With each Flight Report delivery you can expect a one-row-per-flight structure enriched with all the flight, aircraft and schedule data to satisfy your post-flight analytics and reporting needs.

This new generation Flight Report is underpinned by significant development to Spire’s flight detection algorithm for a rich combination of flight and schedule information in csv. This format also includes actual takeoff and landing timestamps, giving it tremendous value for any use case.

The succinct, easy-to-digest Flight Report can be used to look at:

  • global air traffic
  • specific airport(s) or route(s)
  • specific aircraft

About ADS-B#

ADS-B capable aircraft transponders emit several messages with different bits of information several times per second. Spire’s satellites collect these messages that are processed into a Target Update, which corresponds to an update for each ICAO address.
