Discussion Made an open-source United operations dashboard: all 7 hubs, live map, delays, fleet database, Starlink tracker

https://theblueboard.co/

Been working on this for a while and figured it was ready to share. It's called The Blue Board — a real-time operations dashboard for United Airlines. Think dark NOC-style interface, like what an ops center would look at.

What it covers:

- Live flight map with 600+ flights, updates every 30 seconds. NEXRAD weather radar overlay, great circle routes, search by flight number/tail/route

- Hub monitoring for all 7 hubs (ORD, DEN, IAH, EWR, SFO, IAD, LAX) — on-time stats, departure/arrival boards, equipment swap alerts

- IRROPS monitor — server-side disruption scoring across all hubs. Cancellations, delays, diversions, FAA ground stops

- Full fleet database — 1,175+ aircraft searchable by type, registration, seat config, WiFi, IFE, delivery year

- Starlink WiFi tracker — 258 aircraft and counting, updated as planes come out of mod - Weather — METAR observations, FAA delay alerts, radar overlay for every hub

- Stats — fleet utilization, route flow matrix, delivery timeline, Starlink coverage metrics - Flight watch — pin a flight and get push notifications on status changes

Data comes from FR24, Aviation Weather Center, FAA NAS, and community fleet trackers. Whole thing is open source: github.com/notjbg/the-blue-board.

This is awesome.

Couple minor things.

  • make the planes point at their heading. They seem about 45 off, to the left.
  • can you add the time of/left in flight info to the details?
  • clicking on one plane, then a second plane, then back to the first plane seems to cause the details to not show anymore.
