Live Celebrity Jet Tracker — real-time private jet flight tracking, updated June 5, 2026
“On the air, on the record.”
From the desk — Every aircraft on this paper is broadcasting its own position, in the clear, on a frequency anyone with a twenty-dollar receiver can read. We just plot what is already on the air, tag the owners that are publicly attributable, and read the result like a newsroom — running the wire on takeoffs, landings, and the numbers underneath.

The skies, right now.
What you're looking at, and how it works
Celebplanes is a live tracker for celebrity and corporate private jets, built on the public ADS-B broadcast that every aircraft over U.S. and European airspace is required by law to transmit. When a jet known to belong to a tracked individual or company takes off, our worker queues the flight, watches its progress in real time, and — when it lands — publishes a short editor-curated dispatch summarising where it went, how long it took, and roughly how much carbon it burned getting there.
The roster currently covers more than one hundred named individuals (musicians, athletes, founders, heirs, and a handful of journalists) and a few hundred corporate aircraft registered to publicly traded companies. We don't track anyone whose registration is hidden under the FAA's Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed program, and we honour the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program by default. The full source list and the editorial policy that governs who gets added (and who gets removed) lives on the About page; the calculation behind every CO₂ number is documented in the Methodology.
Where the data comes from
Three independent feeds back the live map: ADS-B Exchange (the oldest community feed, no filtering, no LADD honoured for opted-in aircraft), ADSB.fi (a newer mesh maintained by hobbyists in Finland), and Aireon's space-based ADS-B (the commercial satellite network that covers the polar and oceanic gaps land-based receivers can't see). The worker reconciles position fixes across all three, discards obvious spoofs (impossible accelerations, sub-orbital altitudes), and feeds the survivors into the trail you see drawn across the map. A second worker watches for landings and writes the dispatch within thirty seconds of the wheels stopping.
How to use the site
The fastest way in is the live map — every active aircraft is rendered as a coloured plane glyph and can be clicked to open its owner page, current altitude, ground speed, and great-circle distance from origin. If you're looking for a specific person, the People directory alphabetises every tracked individual; each owner page lists their fleet, the most recent twenty flights, and the year-to-date emissions total. The Corporations page does the same for company-registered jets.
To compare two owners side-by-side, drop them into the head-to-head comparator — it pulls flight counts, total flight hours, and a normalised tonnes-CO₂-per-passenger figure for the rolling year. Aircraft fans can browse by model in the aircraft directory, or look up a specific tail number (six- or seven-character registration) directly. Airports get their own indices under Airports — useful for things like "which celebrities flew into Teterboro last week" or "how many private jets landed at Aspen during the X Games".
Editorial standards
Every dispatch is curated and reviewed before it goes out: the flight figures come straight from ADS-B but the surrounding context (why the trip might matter, what's happening at the destination, the owner's recent public itinerary) is written and fact-checked by a human editor before publication. Mistakes get corrected publicly with a dated note appended to the article. The rolling article archive carries the last several hundred dispatches; the most-read entries are pinned to the masthead each week.
If you're a journalist writing about private aviation, sustainability, or a specific public figure's travel, the press page has high-resolution screenshots, an embedded data summary, and contact details for citations. If something on the site looks wrong — a misidentified aircraft, a CO₂ number that doesn't smell right, or a person you think shouldn't be listed — the FAQ covers the most common questions and the contact form at the bottom of every page reaches the editor directly.
Celebplanes is independent, ad-supported, and not affiliated with any of the individuals, companies, or aircraft operators referenced on the site. All flight data is drawn from the public ADS-B broadcast mandated by federal aviation authorities and is reproduced here in compliance with the underlying data licences.
