About

Aireon is a pioneering company in the aviation industry that deployed the world's first global air traffic surveillance system using space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, the company leverages the Iridium satellite constellation - 66 low Earth orbit satellites - to provide real-time, 100% global coverage of aircraft tracking and monitoring. More than 50 percent of the world's airspace now relies on Aireon's space-based ADS-B data for air traffic management. The company serves a diverse range of customers including Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) such as NAV CANADA, NATS, ENAV, and others spanning over 40 countries. Aireon's high-fidelity surveillance data enables safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible aviation operations, contributing to significant CO2 emission reductions. The company's comprehensive product portfolio includes AireonSTREAM, AireonFLOW, AireonINSIGHTS, AireonPORTAL, and AireonVECTOR, providing various data products and analytics solutions for airlines, airports, aircraft manufacturers, and national security agencies.
