What happens when Flightradar24 goes down
Flightradar24 is a live tracker with a moving map, flight number search, altitude readouts and playback that travelers and spotters check during delays or diversions. You lose live positions.
You notice the live map first because planes freeze in place while timestamps stop updating although you can still pan around. Search fails right after. If you tap a flight for details, the panel opens blank or spins; playback and history load when data stalls because they pull cached tracks. Trouble stays partial in most cases, so your airport lags while other regions stay current.

How we track Flightradar24
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Flightradar24, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Flightradar24, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Flightradar24 doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
