Service availability: Flight Scanner relies on internet access, backend infrastructure and third-party aviation-data services. Coverage and availability may change or be interrupted. We will take reasonable steps to maintain the service, but continuous or indefinite availability cannot be guaranteed. If a critical data service is permanently withdrawn and no technically or commercially sustainable alternative is available, some or all live-data features may be reduced or discontinued.
