FAQ
We are an airport and behind a firewall. What changes do we need to allow in our system for receiver to be able to upload data?
If you are behind a firewall, you need to allow the receiver to connect to Flightradar24 servers on UDP port 443 (default) or UDP 8099 (backup).
Are any locations given priority?
We prioritize all civilian airport installations as well as additional select locations.
Does the Flightradar24 antenna cause interference?
No, it's only used to receive the signal. It doesn't transmit.
How do I access the Contributor plan?
After you install the receiver, we will activate it on our network. At this point you will receive an email with info on how to access the Contributor plan allowing you to use and provide feedback on 60+ premium features.
What if I am not able to install the equipment within the promised one week after arrival?
Please inform us of the delay.
I have more than one location, can I apply for all of them?
Yes, you are welcome to apply for all locations.

Most wanted receiver location
With more than 50,000 ADS-B receivers connected to Flightradar24, we maintain the largest receiver network in the world. But we’re always looking for additional receiver hosts in areas that either lack coverage or need additional coverage. Take a look at our list of most wanted airport locations. Do you live or work near one of these airports?
View our most wanted locations
Requirements for hosting
I am able to offer excellent reception conditions – i.e. the antenna will be placed outside on a roof, mast or similar and have a 360 degree unobstructed view of the sky
I am able to get the antenna to its intended locations and receiver online within one week from receiving the equipment
I am able to keep the receiver online 24/7 sending data to Flightradar24 servers via an uninterrupted internet connection
If for some reason hosting a receiver doesn't work out – I am OK with sending the equipment back upon request (at Flightradar24's expense)
Exceptions to these requirements can be made to applications from unique locations.
