Commercial Services
FlightAware provides various paid commercial services designed to support aviation-related consumers, businesses, and FBOs. These services provide a significant portion of FlightAware's revenue.
A selective unblocking service is available for aircraft owners and operators to selectively choose friends, family, employees, and business associates that are allowed to track an aircraft's movements. However, when a selective unblocking is used, the aircraft movements remained blocked to the general public. An owner or operator can opt to do this for privacy or security reasons.
"FBO ToolBox" is a Web-based, market-analysis and flight-tracking application that allows FBO managers insight into their customers. Primary features include competitive fuel price analysis, airport traffic analysis, AMSTAT operator information, and top origins/destinations. A proprietary, fuel-burn system, calculates the number of gallons necessary to complete a filed flight plan, and can deliver FBO managers a picture of potential fuel sales on any given day. In May 2012, FlightAware launched "FBO ToolBox Europe" for airport operators in Europe.
"FlightAware Global" makes worldwide flight tracking available for aircraft operators via satellite or VHF data-link (VDL) through the FlightAware website. This service requires data service with a participating data-link provider.
Custom reports can be generated with a variety of parameters to aid aircraft owners, operators, airports, and business owners in planning decisions. For example, a historical report can be compiled to analyze air traffic frequency at a particular airport.
Premium user accounts allow members access to unlimited flight alerts, increased visibility of historical flight data, and the ability to view more flights per page. There are two levels of premium accounts that are available for a monthly fee.
ARINC partnered with FlightAware and uses the FlightAware web application for ARINC Direct business aircraft operators.
