What has happened to Flightradar24.com - Live Flight Tracker (http://www.flightradar24.com)? No matter what browser I try, it will not load.

Has anybody got a solution, please?

Clear you cache/cookies etc. If you have another computer, try that.

Failing that, turn your router on and off maybe..

flybe don't show, it has been explained to me but my memory has got
the better of me but some kind of software/hardware has to be fitted to the
aircraft and quite a few don't have it - I am sure someone will explain.

Other European aircraft that don't show: -

KLM 733's 734's & 190's
SAS CR9's & MD's (in fact most CRJ's & MD's)

LH 195's show but flybe's don't.

Just one BA 734 shows (G-DOCA I think) shows as does one LH CR9,
D-ACKH.

I will leave it at that before risking the wrath on the Mods.

From the website:

How does it work?
Flightradar24.com shows live airplane traffic from different parts around the world. The technique to receive flight information from aircraft is called ADS-B. That means the Flightradar24.com can only show information about aircraft equipped with ADS-B transponders. Today about 60% of the passenger aircraft and only a small amount of military and private aircraft have an ADS-B transponder.


I'm guessing Flybe doesn't have ADS-B transponders?

I occasionally have problems with flightradar24,try planefinder.net instead - it's not quite as good but a good alternative.

As for Flybe not showing,I don't think Embraer or Bombardier (Dash-8s etc.) fit ADS-B into any aircraft - I stand to be corrected though !

I find radarvirtuel the best-if you are just following just one a/c you can hide all the others as well!
Casper/nl will always have the best looking site:-)

There are number Embraers with Lufthansa and Finnair call signs flying around and they are all visible on flightradar24.com. It's the carrier that decide if they will install an ADS-B transponder.
