Sometimes you head to the airport to pick someone up but have no idea when their flight will arrive. Or you may wonder where the plane carrying your family or friends is right now.
In these situations, you can check a flight’s live location for free without logging in or signing up. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it.
📌 What this article covers
Learn how to check live flight locations on airport websites, search by flight number, track international and nearby flights, and check delays and landing holds.
1. How to use the live flight location service
This service is available through Korea Airports Corporation and the websites of major airports nationwide. You can use it for most domestic airports, including Gimpo, Jeju, Gimhae, Daegu, Cheongju, Gwangju, Ulsan, Yeosu, and Pohang Gyeongju.
Its greatest advantage is that it is completely free and requires no registration or login.
✅ 4 steps to check a flight
① Visit the website of the airport you want to use
② Go to the [Departures/Arrivals] menu
③ Click the [View Live Aircraft Locations] button
④ Aircraft currently in flight will appear as icons on the map, allowing you to check their live routes and directions
2. More useful features
You can easily search by flight number. Search for a flight number or select an icon on the map to instantly check the aircraft’s current location and direction.
🌊 Check international and nearby flights
Information is also provided for international flights traveling to and from domestic airports such as Jeju Airport. However, because the map is centered on the Korean Peninsula, distant regions may not be displayed, and there may be a slight delay compared with the aircraft’s actual location.
⚠️ You can also check flight delays and landing holds. If an aircraft is circling because of bad weather or airport congestion, checking the live location map together with the scheduled departure and arrival times will help you plan your airport pickup much more accurately.
