## About
Flightradar24 started as a hobby project in 2006 when two Swedish aviation geeks decided to build a network of ADS-B receivers in Northern and Central Europe. In 2009 we opened up the network, and made it possible for anyone with an ADS-B receiver to upload data to the network. Flightradar24 combines ADS-B, ADS-C, UAT, MLAT, satellite tracking, and other surveillance technologies to provide live flight tracking and aviation data worldwide. We have the largest ADS-B network in the world with over 50,000 connected receivers.
