Over 103 million messages in a single day - a network record

On Friday 2nd October 2026, our servers received and processed a new record of 103803484 messages in a 24 hour period. These messages were delivered exclusively from ground stations running our professional hardware and software (designed and developed in Denmark.)

These messages were sent from 45640 different aircraft, with more than 50% of those also delivering ground messages (e.g. either taxiing, on the runway, or parked.)

Our busiest ground station was in Addison, TX (USA) with 1.45 million messages. With Dallas Forth Worth International (KDFW), Meachim (KFTW), and NAS Fort Worth (KNFW) all in the catchment area for this station, it's no surprise though.
