Announcing FlightAware and Microsoft Flight Simulator Partnership

Forthcoming Game to Leverage FlightAware's Data to Populate Real Time Traffic

Houston, Tx., July 2, 2020: FlightAware is proud to announce a new partnership with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Now, our Firehose data stream is going to power the real-time, global traffic in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Unlike anything ever before seen gamers will be interacting seamlessly with planes near them in real life and in real-time. As a company founded by pilots, FlightAware leadership is especially happy to introduce a new generation to the beautiful industry of aviation.



"Microsoft Flight Simulation's team is fully dedicated to bring to simmers the most accurate replica of the world ever seen from a plane perspective. Thanks to FlightAware data, we are thrilled to be able to populate this world with the actual aviation traffic all around the world, whether it be on ground or in the air. Out of the box, FlightAware data will allow simmers to fly sharing their air space with the current air traffic but also to check arrivals and departure from airports, select any flight to see its fly plan and even have the possibility to, virtually off course, take controls."
- Jorg Neumann Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator
