spidertracks reaches 5 million hours tracked

More than five million hours of flight data from aircraft around the world has been tracked over recent years thanks to Auckland-based aircraft tracking specialists, spidertracks. The company reached the milestone earlier this week, cementing its position as the largest global provider of portable aircraft tracking.

โ€œSince developing the first Spider from the back-blocks of the Manawatu in 2007, we have progressed to have over 4,000 Spiders transmitting real-time flight data in 100 countries,โ€ says spidertracksโ€™ CEO Dave Blackwell.

โ€œReaching the five-million hour mark is a huge achievement for us. Our average flight duration is around two and a half hours, so this milestone equals roughly two million separate flights in eight years โ€” or almost seven hundred flights a day…

Skye Avionics is proud to be the exclusive spidertracks stocking distributor for Canada and we congratulate spidertracks on this incredible milestone.
