Why Track Flights?
Flight tracking has gone from a niche hobby of aviation enthusiasts to something millions of ordinary people use daily. Here are the most common reasons people track flights in India:
The Problem With Existing Tools
Popular global flight trackers like FlightRadar24 and FlightAware exist — but they weren't built with India in mind. Coverage over Indian airspace can be patchy, Indian domestic routes are often under-represented, and the free tiers are increasingly restricted.
More importantly, they're built for a global audience. An Indian user tracking an IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Chennai shouldn't have to navigate a tool designed primarily for European or North American airspace.
Introducing Akashpath
Akashpath (meaning "sky path" in Hindi) is India's own real-time flight tracker — built specifically for Indian airspace, Indian routes, and Indian users. It tracks 500+ flights simultaneously, updating every 10 seconds with live radar data.
