Private aviation

Private jet tracker for billionaires, leaders and celebrities

TrackWanted follows 81 high-profile operators — Indian industrialists, global tech founders, luxury magnates, sports and entertainment figures and head-of-state fleets — on a 3D globe, pairing each aircraft with its publicly registered tail numbers and an estimate of the carbon a single leg burns.

Why private aviation is worth watching

A single transcontinental business-jet leg emits more carbon than the average person does in a year. Because aircraft registrations and most transponder broadcasts are public records, anyone can see the pattern: short hops between the same three cities, repositioning flights with nobody on board, and fleets that fly more hours empty than full.

Every tail number shown in the app links out to the FAA registry and to Planespotters, so a reader can confirm the aircraft exists and who it is registered to rather than trusting a label on a screen.

What the carbon figures mean

Per-flight CO₂ is modelled from the airframe's published fuel burn, the great-circle distance between the two airports and a standard jet-fuel emission factor of 3.16 kg of CO₂ per kilogram of fuel. It is an estimate of the order of magnitude, not a billed figure, and the dashboard converts it into everyday equivalences — car-years, household-years, trees — so the number means something.

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to track private jets?

Yes. Aircraft registrations are public records and most transponder broadcasts are unencrypted public signals. TrackWanted only republishes information that is already openly available, and links every tail number to the FAA registry so readers can verify it themselves.

Does this show where a specific person is right now?

No. The globe is an illustration of movement patterns along realistic schedules, not a live feed of an individual's location. An aircraft being airborne also does not mean its owner is aboard — fleets fly empty repositioning legs constantly.

How accurate are the tail numbers?

Every tail number is cross-checked against the FAA civil aircraft registry as the primary source and Planespotters as a secondary source. Where a registration cannot be confirmed, the entry is marked rather than guessed.

How is the per-flight carbon figure calculated?

From the airframe's published fuel burn, the great-circle distance of the leg, and the standard emission factor of 3.16 kg of CO₂ per kilogram of jet fuel. It is an order-of-magnitude estimate, converted into everyday equivalences like car-years and household-years.
