In today's times, it has become easy to keep a track of where the flight is as the flight tracking policy has advanced over time.

To the average traveler, the process of tracking their EasyJet flight may seem pretty simple. There are many on-line flight trackers (such as iFly’s flight tracker) that will provide you with all the data you need to know about the flight you want to track. These trackers assist passengers to keep track of the flights, their time of departure and arrival, flight status, and more and the same technology also assists the airline internally. But how it works behind the scenes is definitely more complex.

EasyJet’s pilots, flight operations, and the worldwide network of air traffic controllers always know the specific location and flight status of any EasyJet flight, as airplanes are equipped with GPS receivers and sophisticated transponders that report their position to ground radars for processing.

Passengers can easily get the information required to stay up to date about an EasyJet flight by using the number of their flight, or they can use the arrival and departure airports along with the date in case the flight number is unknown to get status updates relating to specific flights.
