What should I do if my flight is not found on FlightAware?

Asked 4 months ago
If a flight cannot be found on FlightAware, several factors may be contributing to this issue. First, it is essential to ensure that the flight number and date are entered correctly, as even minor inaccuracies in information can result in a failure to locate the desired flight. Additionally, flights that are private or chartered may not be available in the FlightAware database, as their tracking may not be accessible or publicly shared. Another possibility is that the flight is scheduled for a future date, and this may result in the flight not yet appearing in the system. FlightAware typically provides tracking information for flights that are currently in the air or soon to depart. In some cases, it is advisable to check the airline's official website for real-time updates and details about the flight. This can provide the most accurate and timely information. For further assistance, individuals may want to look for contact information on the official FlightAware website.
