Navigraph and Flightradar24 have announced a new partnership bringing officially licensed real-time air traffic data to third-party flight simulation applications and services.
Through this partnership, Navigraph is launching a new data API platform enabling third-party flight simulation developers to integrate Flightradar24 real-world traffic data into consumer flight simulation experiences.
Navigraph
Founded in Sweden in 2003, Navigraph has provided flight simulation enthusiasts with realistic aviation data and flight planning tools for more than 20 years. Today, Navigraph serves a global community of sim pilots through its subscription platform, offering Jeppesen-sourced navigation data, airport charts, enroute charts, VFR charts, flight planning tools, pilot training resources, and simulator integrations for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024, Laminar Research X-Plane 11/12, and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v2-6.
Flightradar24
Flightradar24 is the world’s leading flight tracking service, providing real-time global air traffic information used daily by millions of aviation enthusiasts and professionals worldwide. The platform aggregates live aircraft position data from a global network of ADS-B receivers and aviation data sources, enabling users to follow flights and air traffic activity in real-time.
First Launch Integration Available Through FSLTL
The first implementation of the new collaboration launches through FSLTL (FS Live Traffic Liveries), a widely used traffic injection solution for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Through the Navigraph platform, FSLTL users can now inject officially licensed Flightradar24 traffic data directly into the simulator using realistic 3D aircraft models and airline liveries matched to real-world traffic movements.
Stephen O’Connell, CTO and Co-founder of Navigraph, said, “We are incredibly excited to launch an official platform for real-world traffic integrations within the flight simulation ecosystem. This collaboration with Flightradar24 creates new opportunities not only for sim pilots seeking greater immersion, but also for third-party developers building the next generation of simulation, ATC, and aviation experiences.”
Accessing the service through FSLTL will require a Navigraph account and an active Navigraph Unlimited subscription. Within supported applications, users authenticate through their Navigraph account to enable real-world traffic integration.
Subscribers to Navigraph Unlimited receive access to continuously updated airport charts, VFR charts, enroute charts, navigation data, flight planning tools, and now official Flightradar24 traffic integrations through supported applications and services.
Opening the Platform to Third-Party Developers
In addition to FSLTL, Navigraph is opening the platform to third-party developers interested in integrating official Flightradar24 traffic data into flight simulation applications, ATC environments, virtual airline systems, and simulator experiences. Several integrations are already underway through the Navigraph API platform.
Developers interested in integration opportunities can visit developers.navigraph.com or contact dev@navigraph.com for more information.
Flightradar24 Traffic Coming to Navigraph Charts
Navigraph also plans to integrate the real-world traffic data from Flightradar24 into Navigraph Charts in the future, allowing users to view real-world traffic directly on interactive en route maps alongside virtual flight simulation networks such as VATSIM and IVAO.
The service is intended exclusively for consumer flight simulation and entertainment purposes. It is not designed, certified, or authorised for real-world navigation, aviation operations, professional pilot training, or operational flight planning.
