Data sources
Where our flight data comes from
FJ Globe aggregates several public and commercial flight data providers and merges them into a single deduplicated feed.
FlightRadar24
We use the FlightRadar24 schedule and live feed to enrich each flight with registration, origin/destination, scheduled times and aircraft type.
OpenSky Network
The OpenSky Network is a community-driven receiver network. We use its public REST API as a free, redundant source of live ADS-B positions.
FlightAware AeroAPI
AeroAPI provides high-quality flight identification, aircraft registration and route data, which we use to fill gaps and validate records.
How we merge them
Each record is matched against the others using ICAO24 hex, registration and callsign. A union-find algorithm groups records that refer to the same physical aircraft, so you never see the same jet twice on the globe.
