Spire Aviation

Spire Aviation provides global, space-enabled flight tracking and aviation analytics to solve gaps in surface and oceanic surveillance, improve operational efficiency, and reduce fuel and routing costs. Using space-based ADS-B reception from Spire's LEMUR LEO satellite constellation fused with terrestrial data sources, the product supplies near-real-time aircraft positions, historical tracks, and analytics to airlines, ANSPs, cargo operators, insurers, and MRO/leasing firms for safety and optimisation.

Key capabilities:

• Global ADS-B Coverage: Processes 300M+ ADS-B messages and 160,000+ flights daily, with unprecedented coverage over oceans, deserts and mountains where ground radar is absent.
• Flight Analytics: Airline KPIs including on-time performance, fuel burn, carbon emissions, contrail management and route performance.
• Real-time & Streaming Data Feeds: REST APIs (Flights Live, Events Stream, Tracking Stream) and batch Flight Reports for integration into operational systems.
• Anomaly & Alerting Tools: Automated detection of abnormal flight behaviours (diversions, air turnbacks) for situational awareness and risk monitoring.

Spire Aviation stands out by combining persistent space-based ADS-B reception with turnkey APIs and analytics that directly support route optimisation, asset tracking, sustainability reporting, and insurance/MRO risk assessment across global airspace.
