BWI Airport Live Flight Status: Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport

BWI Airport, formally Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (IATA BWI, ICAO KBWI), is the large airport serving Baltimore in the United States, and the live radar on this page shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from the airport right now. BWI is the code you see on tickets; KBWI is the code used in aviation datasets, including ours. Our database places the airport at 39.1754 north, 76.6683 west and puts its traffic at a moderate level in our own measurement. Further down this page you will find our measured traffic picture for the airport, links to the airlines we recorded here most often, and the two nearest airports in our database that also have a page on this site.

What our own measurements show at BWI

Alongside the live radar, this page carries our own 30-day reception measurement of traffic at BWI. Over those 30 days, we recorded an average of 16.4 aircraft observations per day near Baltimore/Washington International, the figure behind the moderate traffic level in our data. It is our own measurement, offered as background to the radar rather than as a schedule.

The busiest window in that measurement falls between 01:00 and 03:00 UTC. Our measurement clock runs on UTC, so no local time conversion is applied to that window; convert it to Baltimore local time before you plan around it. Within the 30-day period, that two-hour window is simply when we recorded more aircraft near BWI than at any other time of day.

Airlines we track at Baltimore/Washington International

Three carriers appear in our 30-day measurement at BWI. Delta Air Lines leads the count with 35 observations, followed by Frontier Airlines with 23 and American Airlines with 14. Those three are the only carriers in our data for Baltimore, and the order runs from Delta at the top to American at the bottom. Each link leads to that airline's own status page on this site; for a specific flight, that page is the next place to look after the BWI arrivals and departures pages.

Nearby airports

If your trip involves another airport in the region, the two closest alternatives in our data are both within 48 km of BWI. Joint Base Andrews is the nearer of the two at 44 km, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport lies 48 km away. Both distances come from our database and are measured from Baltimore/Washington International; we track both airports, and each has its own page on this site. For the rest of the country's airports we cover, the airport overview is the starting point.
