> Real-time aviation intelligence for the United States and beyond: live departure and arrival boards for every airport, per-aircraft flight history for any tail number, airline profiles with on-time and fuel economics, live airspace maps, and data journalism. Figures come from FAA filed flight plans, the ADS-B network, US DOT/BTS filings, EIA fuel surveys and EUROCONTROL performance data; every figure names its source. Free to cite with a link.

## Entry points

- [Airports directory](https://aeropattern.com/airports): 24,000 airports by US state and by country; each airport page (e.g. https://aeropattern.com/airports/KATL) opens with a plain-English traffic summary (flights handled yesterday and over the past week, busiest route, largest operator, business aviation share), then live departures, arrivals, weather, delays and history.
- [Aircraft](https://aeropattern.com/aircraft): any tail number, with type, owner, flight history and filed plans. Where the company or person behind a private jet has been identified, the tail page names them ahead of the FAA registry entity, which is often a bank trustee or an LLC: e.g. https://aeropattern.com/aircraft/N98LE is WWE's Bombardier Global 6000, registered to TVPX Aircraft Solutions Inc as trustee; https://aeropattern.com/aircraft/N908CC is Charter Communications' Gulfstream G450, registered to Teton Trails LLC.
- [Who owns a private jet](https://aeropattern.com/guides/who-owns-a-private-jet): how to look past a trustee or LLC registration to the real owner, with worked examples.
- [Identified owners](https://aeropattern.com/principals): companies and people behind private jets, each with the tails linked to them.
- [Airlines and operators](https://aeropattern.com/airlines): profiles by IATA/ICAO code, e.g. https://aeropattern.com/airlines/DL, with fleet, routes, on-time performance, fuel and safety record.
- [Jet fuel price today](https://aeropattern.com/jet-fuel-price): the daily US jet fuel spot price per gallon, its history since 1990, and what a price move costs each US airline per month.
- [Aircraft fuel burn per hour](https://aeropattern.com/aircraft-types/fuel-burn): gallons of jet fuel per hour for every aircraft type in US airline service (737, A320, 777 and the rest), from what airlines reported, with fuel cost per hour and each type's own page (e.g. https://aeropattern.com/aircraft-types/614).
- [Monthly airline fuel report](https://aeropattern.com/airlines/fuel-report): gallons burned, dollars spent and price paid per gallon by every US airline, one permanent page per month back to 1990 (e.g. https://aeropattern.com/airlines/fuel-report/2026-06).
- [Airline fuel leaderboards](https://aeropattern.com/airlines/fuel-leaderboards): US airlines ranked by fuel efficiency, load factor, fuel cost and more, plus head-to-head pages (e.g. https://aeropattern.com/airlines/compare/DL-vs-UA).
- [US airline mergers](https://aeropattern.com/airlines/mergers): a timeline of which airline merged into which, and when each name stopped flying.
- [Live airspace map](https://aeropattern.com/airspace): what is airborne right now, with FAA delay programs and tarmac-delay tracking.
- [Weekly business aviation rankings](https://aeropattern.com/business-aviation/rankings): the busiest private jet airports, routes, operators and aircraft types, one permanent page per week (e.g. https://aeropattern.com/business-aviation/rankings/2026-09-07).
- [Airshows](https://aeropattern.com/airshows): every upcoming US and Canadian airshow from the ICAS calendar, with the biggest shows checked weekly against their own sites. One permanent page per show (e.g. https://aeropattern.com/airshows/wings-over-houston-airshow-tx) gives dates, tickets and gate times where known, the performer lineup, the host airport and what normally flies there, and every past edition since 2008. Season pages by year (https://aeropattern.com/airshows/season/2027), month (https://aeropattern.com/airshows/season/2027/june) and state (https://aeropattern.com/airshows/state/tx/2027); jet-team schedules (https://aeropattern.com/airshows/demo-teams/blue-angels); performers (https://aeropattern.com/airshows/performers). The same data as JSON: https://aeropattern.com/airshows/data.json
- [Airline cancellations by cause](https://aeropattern.com/airlines/cancellations): which US airline cancels the most flights and whether the cause was the airline itself, weather, air traffic control or security, from BTS on-time data. A high total is usually weather; the airline's own share is the comparable figure.
- [Weather cancellations, airline by airline](https://aeropattern.com/airlines/weather-cancellations): which airlines fly through weather that grounds their competitors, measured at the same airports on the same days so exposure is controlled for, with the observed conditions. The airline holds operational control and makes the cancellation decision; ATC never cancels a flight.
- [Certificate personnel](https://aeropattern.com/operators/personnel): how many employees, pilots in command, inspectors, mechanics and repairmen the FAA lists on every US air operating certificate, in one table across Parts 91, 121, 125 and 135. Each operator also has its own page, e.g. https://aeropattern.com/operators/cert/DXTA.
- [Flight tracker comparisons](https://aeropattern.com/vs): AeroPattern compared feature by feature with FlightAware, Flightradar24, JetSpy and ADS-B Exchange (e.g. https://aeropattern.com/vs/flightaware), checked against each product's own site, with the date checked.
- [Tools and leaderboards](https://aeropattern.com/tools): busiest airports and routes, on-time and fuel leaderboards, compensation and passenger-rights guides, great-circle calculator.
- [The Pattern](https://aeropattern.com/the-pattern): data journalism from the same dataset. RSS: https://aeropattern.com/the-pattern/rss.xml
