The Aviation Tracker
The Aviation Tracker tracks commercial flights to, from, and within North Korea.
The world’s only North Korea-specific tool for observing flights going into and out of the DPRK.
Track commercial flights to, from, and within North Korea.
The Aviation Tracker is designed to help you measure the North’s economic activities--especially the transportation of sanctioned materials--as well as understand shifting trends in tourism, and visualize North Korea’s diplomatic relations.
Using radio technology, visual sightings and other open sources, the NK Pro Aviation Tracker provides comprehensive information on the movement of aircraft to, from and within North Korea. Based on historical data going back to 1970, our flight data comes from a unique combination of three sources aggregated in a way not used anywhere else.
Some examples of how you can use the tracker:
- Kim Jong Un’s bodyguards arrive in Hanoi on Air Koryo IL-76 cargo plane
- In unusual move, five Air Koryo planes head to Vladivostok on Monday
- U.S.A.F. cargo plane left Pyongyang on Saturday morning, flight purpose unknown
- Amid increased sanctions, Air Koryo flights decreased by 22% in 2017: data
- Orascom private jet pays unreported trip to North Korea

How can NK PRO help?

See how NK PRO can support your work
The ultimate resource for professionals working on North Korea
Decades of combined expertise
While a reputation for opaqueness makes the DPRK ‘unknowable’ to many, there is now more information than ever circulating about the country.
But identifying the key signals – where one statement, leadership change, or weapons test can change the course of the future – is becoming more challenging by the day.
NK PRO cuts through this growing noise to serve those needing quality, reliability and timeliness the most: the people on the frontlines of policy, business and research.
NK PRO is managed and staffed by a team of Korea and regional experts. They each have their own area of expertise and come from a range of supporting backgrounds, including military, foreign affairs, non-governmental agencies, and academia.

To understand how far China-DPRK relations have come since the summits of 2018 and 2019, NK PRO has conducted a special three-part review of all that’s known in the open-source. Overall, analysis of a wide range of indicators suggests momentum between the two allies will continue to grow after COVID-19 passes, with likely significant consequences for the future of both American and South Korean diplomacy.
Part One focuses on the bilateral statements, rhetoric and pledges in action
Part Two focuses on a review of customs and shipping data
Part Three provides a satellite imagery overview of key borderlands infrastructure developments
