The Global for Helicopters service began in October 2023 and allows helicopter flights to be tracked. FlightAware Global for Helicopters uses an ADS-B transponder, which is already part of the aircraft. If the aircraft is operating with a 1090 MHz transponder, Aireon's ADS-B space-based receivers can track them.
Spidertracks was founded by James McCarthy in 2007 in the small rural town of Pohangina, just outside Palmerston North, New Zealand.
