Live · FAA SWIM data feed · Beta

Be the first to know
when a flight diverts.

Divert Alert watches the FAA's System Wide Information Management feed in real time and flags the moment a flight leaves its planned route — before it hits the news.

Sourced directly from the same data feed air traffic control runs on

Planned route vs. actual position — tracked continuously

What you get

Everything you need to catch a diversion first.

No refreshing a map every five minutes. Divert Alert does the watching for you.

Direct FAA SWIM feed

Connected to the FAA's System Wide Information Management feed — the same data air traffic control uses to track every flight plan and position update nationwide.

Alerts, not refreshes

Get notified the moment a flight's actual route breaks from its filed plan — no need to babysit a browser tab.

Filter to what matters

Watch specific airlines, airports, or flight statuses. Everyone else's traffic stays out of your feed.

Nationwide coverage

Every flight in U.S. controlled airspace is in scope — not a curated subset of major hubs.

How it works

From FAA feed to your alert, in three steps.

01 — INGEST

The SWIM feed streams in

Every flight plan and position update in U.S. airspace flows into Divert Alert as it happens.

02 — DETECT

Filed route vs. live position

Our engine continuously compares each flight's planned arrival to where it's actually headed.

03 — NOTIFY

You get the alert

The instant a route breaks, it shows up in your live monitor and on your phone.

Built on the same data ATC runs on — not a scraped map.

Divert Alert reads directly from the FAA's SWIM program rather than polling a third-party tracker, so what you see reflects the same picture controllers have.
