Fleet activity

Every aircraft on the DGCA NSOP list; blank last flight means not seen. "Not seen" means no ADS-B signal was received: parked, in maintenance, flying without a working transponder signal, or out of coverage.

How this is built and what it misses

Aircraft: Every aircraft on DGCA's List of Non-Scheduled Operators (NSOP), as published monthly and parsed by the open vtaircrafts.in dataset.
Flights: Built from adsb.lol's daily archive of ADS-B positions (public domain, CC0). A flight starts when the aircraft leaves the ground and ends when it lands. Where the track drops out and the aircraft could not have covered the distance in the time, it is treated as having landed.
Placing takeoffs and landings: Confirmed: seen on the ground or below 800 ft at the airport. Probable: seen low on approach or climb-out. Inferred: the landing or takeoff was in a coverage gap and the airport was deduced from the descent path or from where the aircraft appeared next. Not seen: no basis to place it; the record keeps the last-seen position.
Times: IST. When an end was not seen directly, the time shown is when the aircraft was first or last seen, so the real takeoff was earlier or the landing later.
Kinds of flight: Point-to-point; local or training (same site); offshore shuttle (helicopter to the Mumbai High, Krishna-Godavari or Cauvery fields); cargo (freighters on NSOP permits); aerial work (aircraft DGCA lists for survey, flight inspection, cloud seeding or flying training); fragment (seen only briefly mid-air). Only the first two count as charter flights.
What is left out: Flights by aircraft with no working ADS-B signal; low-level helicopter work away from receivers; and any leg flown entirely outside receiver coverage. Coverage is thinnest at low level around Delhi and over the sea. Not every flight by an NSOP aircraft is a paid charter: owner, positioning and training flights are included.
