Contrail Pro

For when you want to see more

Pro is purely additive — every free feature stays free, forever. Pro adds the things power users keep asking for: notable-aircraft tracking, real-time push, weather overlays, and cinematic replays.

Military & Notable

  • Discover catalog — 15,900+ notable tails: military, government, celebrity jets, historic warbirds.
  • Tail watchlist — push the moment a specific aircraft takes off, anywhere in the world.
  • UK Military Airspace — danger areas, MATZ, restricted and prohibited zones overlaid on the map.
  • Activity Corridors — quick-zoom to OSINT-hot regions: Baltic, Black Sea, High North.

Real-time Alerts

  • Push on My Flights — gate changes, delays, landings, baggage, and cancellations the second FlightAware sees them.
  • Emergency squawks — push when an aircraft squawks 7500, 7600, or 7700, worldwide or within a chosen radius.

Aviation Extras

  • Aviation weather overlay — global SIGMETs and AIRMETs: thunderstorms, turbulence, icing, volcanic ash.
  • Flight Cinema — cinematic 3D replays of any tracked flight, ready to share.
