Blocked Aircraft

If you are the owner or operator of an aircraft with a blocked identification that prefers to keep the tail number blocked for privacy reasons but would like to personally be able to use FlightAware to access the aircraft's status and history, FlightAware offers selective unblocking on a per-account basis so that you can maintain complete privacy and anonymity while selectively choosing friends, family, employees, and business associates that you allow to track your aircraft's movements.

Not Yet Blocked

If you elect to subscribe to this service for aircraft that are not already blocked, FlightAware will block that aircraft to any FlightAware user not listed on your application.

It's Fast & Easy

  1. Simply read the rest of this page and print the application.
  2. Submit payment via cheque or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express) and enclose all necessary paperwork.
  3. Drop it in the mail or hand it to your favorite courier and FlightAware does the rest.
