Spire Aviation

Spire Aviation provides global, space-enabled flight tracking data and aviation analytics that fill the gaps left by ground-based tracking. ADS-B signals captured by Spire's own LEO satellites are fused with multi-sourced terrestrial ADS-B data to supply real-time and historical aircraft positions, flight events and flight analytics to airports, airlines, air cargo and logistics operators, insurers, MRO and leasing firms, travel companies and solution providers.

Key capabilities:

• Global ADS-B Coverage: Processes 300M+ ADS-B messages and 160,000+ flights daily, with coverage in remote regions such as oceans, deserts and mountains where terrestrial tracking is unavailable.
• Flight Analytics: Airline KPIs including on-time performance and fuel burn, carbon emissions, overflight (FIR), holding and go-around insights, and support for contrail research and management.
• Live, Streaming & Historical Delivery: Flights Live, Flights History and Tracking History REST APIs; Tracking Stream and Events Stream real-time feeds (take-off, landing, off/on-block and flight-state events, plus customisable event updates such as delay alerts); daily, weekly or monthly Flight Report CSV files; and ArcGIS integration.
• GNSS Interference Monitoring: ADS-B navigation-accuracy indicators (NIC/NACp) turned into GNSS jamming and interference maps and intelligence.

Spire Aviation stands out by combining persistent space-based ADS-B reception with developer-friendly APIs and ready-to-use analytics that support fleet and asset tracking, route planning, sustainability reporting, and insurance, MRO and leasing risk assessment across global airspace.
