Introduction
Flight tracking is the process of acquiring real-time flight information, such as longitude, latitude, altitude, and ground speed of a specific aircraft. It is one of the key initiatives undertaken by regulatory agencies towards making aviation safe. Flight tracking is mainly carried out to ensure safe and efficient air traffic control and airline operations, and provide immediate response in case of an incident. It encompasses ground infrastructure and airborne equipment, along with the components that link them. The scope of this study covers ADS-B, ACARS, and FANS based flight tracking system. Over a period, the flight tracking system has become a vital component in the aviation industry. There have been significant innovations in the flight tracking system front, owing to the technological advancements and improved software systems. Currently, there are a number of investments by companies, such as Honeywell International Inc., Rockwell Collins, and Garmin Ltd, on flight tracking systems, which would significantly propel the market growth. The increasing demand for new aircraft, focus on ensuring flight safety, constant monitoring of aircraft, and the growing adoption of ADS-B flight tracking systems are the key factors driving the global market.
Moreover, with the growing need for real-time aircraft information, there has been a steep rise in the sale of flight tracking systems.
Meanwhile, high installation costs and cybersecurity issues are hindering the market growth to a certain extent. However, rising demand for military UAVs and flight tracking systems in emerging economies offer promising growth opportunities to the market. Widespread use of apps for real-time flight tracking is a key trend prevalent in this industry.
