⚠️ For the third time in two days Flightradar24 is under attack. Our engineers are working to mitigate the attack as quickly as possible and we hope to be back tracking flights soon. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience. Updates to follow in thread.
We are continuing our efforts to mitigate the attack on our systems and are working diligently to bring Flightradar24 back online for all users. We thank you for your continued patience.
Work is ongoing to return Flightradar24 services to normal and mitigate the effects of an attack on our systems. Next update in 1 hour, or sooner if any status changes.
Our engineers are continuing to mitigate the attack on our systems and work to restore access to Flightradar24 services.
Next update in 1 hour, or sooner with any change in status. We truly appreciate your patience as we work to return Flightradar24 to full strength.
Work continues to mitigate the effects of the attack on our systems. Our team is working as quickly as possible to return our services to 100%. We will provide additional updates in this thread when new information is available.
Attacks on our systems continue and while we were able to bring services back for a short time, significant instability due to the sustained attacks has forced us to refocus our efforts to mitigate them. As a result, Flightradar24 remains unavailable to all users at this time.

Airspace off the eastern coast of the US is currently NOTAM’d closed through 1945UTC as National Defense Airspace. Here's traffic now vs. last week same time. flightradar24.com/30.44,-78.57/7
The area encompassed by the NOTAM prohibiting flights of any kind without authorization is shaded in yellow in the image below. The NOTAM remains active for 40 more minutes.
We can’t track the rocket directly (no ADS-B for 🚀), but watch once the aircraft has reached its initial altitude and then begins a rapid climb followed by a sharp right turn as the rocket is released and lights just seconds later. flightradar24.com/2ecccaf4
Coming around for the second pass in the drop area. Keep a close eye on Cosmic Girl’s altitude. flightradar24.com/2ecccaf4
On 1 November 2011, LOT flight 16 from Newark touched down in Warsaw without its landing gear extended. None of the 220 passengers and 11 crew were injured, though the aircraft was declared a hull loss. Here’s what happened.
As the crew departed Newark and raised the landing gear and flaps, hydraulic fluid leaked out of a hose in the right main landing gear causing the center hydraulic system on the Boeing 767 to lose pressure.
The crew was alerted to the low pressure and elected to continue to Warsaw so as to burn the considerable amount of fuel on board the aircraft and continue to work the problem with LOT engineers en route.
Ryanair’s ATH-VNO flight normally (avg point from past year) begins its descent over Belarus ~177km from VNO. Today’s flight maintained 39,000 ft toward Lithuania before beginning its diversion 73km from VNO (30 km from 🇱🇹 border).
More than 5 hours after the landing of flight #FR4978 in Minsk the aircraft (SP-RSM) remains on ground in Minsk.
