The Blue Board — United Airlines Flight Tracker and Live Operations Dashboard

The Blue Board is a free, independent, real-time operations dashboard for United Airlines flights. It plots every airborne United flight on a live map refreshed every 30 seconds, and tracks delays, cancellations, and FAA ground stops across all 8 United hubs plus the Tokyo-Narita gateway — Chicago O'Hare (ORD), Denver (DEN), Houston Intercontinental (IAH), Newark Liberty (EWR), San Francisco (SFO), Washington Dulles (IAD), Los Angeles (LAX), Guam (GUM), and Tokyo Narita (NRT). It is built for the United community and is not affiliated with United Airlines, Inc.

How to use this site

Use The Blue Board when the question is specific to United Airlines operations and needs an answer from the last few minutes rather than a published timetable: whether United is delayed at a given hub right now, where a particular flight is, what aircraft is operating it, and whether that aircraft has Starlink. It covers United only, it is not a booking tool, and united.com and the airport display remain the systems of record for a flight you are about to board. Machine-readable summaries of the whole site live at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt, every indexable URL is listed in /sitemap.xml, and this page is also available as Markdown to any client that sends an Accept: text/markdown request header.
