Live Celebrity Jet Tracker — real-time private jet flight tracking, updated October 16, 2026
“On the air, on the record.”
From the desk — Celebplanes is a live celebrity jet tracker. Every plane on our map sends out its own position over open radio. Anyone with a twenty-dollar receiver can pick it up. We plot what is already on the air and put a name to each plane where the public record allows. The flights worth a closer look get written up.

How does this celebrity jet tracker work?
Celebplanes tracks celebrity and corporate private jets as they fly. It reads ADS-B, a public radio signal that planes send out. Most aircraft in U.S. and European airspace are required by law to broadcast it. When a jet tied to someone on our list takes off, we follow it live. When it lands, we log where it went and how long it took, along with an estimate of the carbon it burned. The flights that stand out also get a written story.
We track 211 named people and 132companies. Among the people are musicians, athletes, founders, heirs and a few journalists. Planes hidden under the FAA’s Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) program are left off, and we honour the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program by default. The About page lists our sources and the rules for adding or removing someone. The CO₂ math is laid out in the Methodology.
Where does the flight data come from?
The live map runs on public ADS-B feeds from community networks such as adsb.lol and ADSB.fi. Volunteers supply them from their own ground receivers. Our system compares the position reports and drops the ones that can’t be real, like a jump in speed no plane could make. What’s left becomes the trail on the map. A separate process watches for landings and closes out each flight.
How to track a celebrity’s private jet
Start with the live map. Each plane in the air shows as a colored icon. Click one for its owner, altitude, ground speed and distance from takeoff. The People directory lists everyone we track from A to Z. Each owner page shows their jets, their last twenty flights and their CO₂ for the year. Corporations works the same way for company jets.
The head-to-head comparison puts two owners side by side, with flight counts, hours flown and CO₂ per passenger over the past year. Plane fans can browse by model in the aircraft directory or look up a tail number. Each airport has a page of its own under Airports. That’s where to look for which celebrities flew into Teterboro last week, or how many private jets landed in Aspen during the X Games.
How we check our stories
Every story is reviewed before it goes out. The flight figures come straight from ADS-B, but the context around them is written and fact-checked by a human editor. That context covers why a trip might matter and what is going on at the destination, sometimes with the owner’s recent public plans. When we get something wrong, we correct it in public and add a dated note to the story. Past stories are in the article archive.
Journalists covering private aviation, climate or a public figure’s travel will find screenshots, a data summary and contact details on the press page. If a plane looks tied to the wrong owner, or a CO₂ number seems off, the FAQ is a good first stop. The contact form at the bottom of every page goes straight to the editor.
Celebplanes is independent and ad-supported. We have no ties to the people, companies or aircraft operators on this site. All flight data comes from the public ADS-B signal that aviation authorities require, and we use it under each source’s license.
