About airportsboard.live
airportsboard.live is a free service that shows live flight boards — arrivals and departures — for more than 6,000 airports around the world, available in 12 languages. There is nothing to install and no account to create: open the board for the airport you care about and read it the way you would read the screens in a terminal.
Our goal is simple: give travelers and the people waiting for them a fast, clean, up-to-date view of what is landing and taking off, wherever they are.
What you can do here
- Look up any of 6,000+ airports worldwide and see its current arrivals and departures.
- Check flight status, scheduled and estimated times, and gate or terminal details where available.
- Read the boards in 12 languages, so the information is clear whether you are at home or abroad.
Boards refresh frequently throughout the day so the picture stays close to real time.
Who it is for
airportsboard.live is built for anyone who needs to know what is happening at an airport right now: travelers tracking their own flight, friends and family driving to meet an arrival, and people who simply want to confirm a departure before leaving for the airport.
If you have ever refreshed an airline app in the parking lot wondering whether a flight has landed, this site is meant for you.
How it works
We aggregate flight information from third-party flight-data providers and present it in a single, consistent board for each airport. That data is collected, formatted, and displayed automatically.
Because the information comes from external sources, it can occasionally be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Please always verify critical details — final gate, boarding time, and any schedule change — directly with your airline or the official airport before you travel. airportsboard.live is an information tool, not an official source, and should not be your only reference for time-sensitive decisions.
How the data is refreshed: boards are updated on a schedule matched to how busy an airport is — the busiest hubs several times a day, smaller airports at least daily. Every board displays the age of its own data, and a page never claims to be live when it is not.
How we know which airports have flights: we probed published flight schedules for every one of the roughly 6,000 airports that hold an IATA code. About 2,280 have scheduled passenger service; the rest are airfields, military bases and private strips with no airline flights. Those pages say so plainly and name the nearest airport you can actually fly from, with the distance, instead of showing an empty board.
Airports that have closed are marked as closed, with the year and the airport that took over their traffic, rather than being quietly left to look operational.
An honest note about who runs this
airportsboard.live is an independent project run by a single person — a solo operator, not a company or a large team. It grew out of a genuine interest in flight data and a wish for flight boards that are fast, free of clutter, and usable in many languages.
Being small keeps the site focused, but it also means feedback matters a great deal. If you spot something wrong or something that could be better, please get in touch through the contact page — it genuinely helps improve the service for everyone.
