Why do I care about wheels up / wheels down time for airline flights? Shouldn I just track an airline flight on their web site?
Maybe so; that’s a good point. FlightAware’s data may or may not be the most relevant for airline customers depending on the situation. One interesting aspect of FlightAware’s tracking data for airlines is that although it doesn’t offer gate arrival or departure times, if an airline is claiming (for example) that flight #482 will arrive at gate E6 at IAH at 4:18pm but FlightAware says the flight isn’t going to touch down at IAH until 4:32pm, you might expect a delayed arrival at the gate or, less likely, a revised ETA from FlightAware.
