FlightAware assists both airport operators and other aviation organizations in their operations. FlightAware's flight arrival time algorithms have made it the most useful flight tracking application on the Internet.

The company serves over half a million tracking requests per day. FlightAware allows users to search, organize, and view the information in different ways. This information is useful to airlines, charter companies, and pilots. Users can enter an airport name or flight number in order to access all the information available in the database. The My FlightAware page allows users to select multiple airports and flights that they would like to monitor. If a plane is currently in the air, the site shows its status as 'Airborne".
