What to look at
The useful evidence depends on the question. For this scenario, focus on:
Numeric flight number
Use the source-backed value as context. If it is missing or ambiguous, AeroDue does not replace it with an estimate.
Operating identity when different
Use the source-backed value as context. If it is missing or ambiguous, AeroDue does not replace it with an estimate.
What AeroDue can check
- Commercial flight-reference resolution
- Open ADS-B aircraft telemetry when available
- Route plausibility and source-age boundaries

Flight tracking is informational. It is not an official airline or airport determination and is never sufficient by itself to determine passenger-rights eligibility.

What is the difference between a flight number and an aircraft callsign?
A commercial flight number and the ATC callsign broadcast by an aircraft are not always identical. AeroDue can resolve the commercial reference before looking for the corresponding aircraft telemetry.
How can I track an aircraft position using a flight number?
Enter the commercial flight number in AeroDue Flight Tracker. If the flight can be resolved and open ADS-B coverage is available, AeroDue shows the latest received aircraft position and telemetry.
What does a stale aircraft position mean?
A stale position is older than the freshness threshold AeroDue expects for a recent track. It can still provide context, but should not be treated as the aircraft's current exact position.
How can I check airport health before a flight?
Use the airport's ICAO code in AeroDue Intelligence. The result combines the connected weather and disruption evidence while clearly separating airport-specific signals from broader country context.
What does historical flight reliability mean?
Historical reliability summarizes past operational records within a defined scope. It can provide context, but it cannot tell you with certainty what will happen to a future flight.
