AMREF Flying Doctors tracker: fleet & flights live

Over the last 90 days we recorded 5 different jets under the ICAO callsign FDS, 3 of them also in the last 30 days. The actual fleet may be larger: jets out of receiver range, in maintenance or flying under a different callsign are not counted.

According to the ICAO designator list published by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), African Medical and Research Foundation (Amref) is registered in Kenya. The list records the three-letter ICAO code, country and radio callsign of every operator.

AMREF Flying Doctors flies under the ICAO callsign FDS; on the radio the crew identifies as "FLYDOC". On flight-tracking maps the callsign shows up as the code plus a flight number, e.g. FDS123. That is how we attribute flights to the operator.

The types we recorded most often under the AMREF Flying Doctors callsign over the last 90 days: Pilatus PC-12 (3 jets) and Cessna Citation Sovereign (2 jets).

Most departures and arrivals in the last 30 days were at Nairobi (HKNW, 25 movements), Nairobi (HKJK, 14 movements) and Berlin (EDDB, 2 movements). The busiest route of the last 90 days was Cork → Paris (1 flight).

In the last 30 days the recorded flights emitted an estimated 120 t of CO₂ over 86.1 flight hours; year to date it is 168 t from 106 flights. The estimate multiplies the typical fuel burn of the aircraft class by flight time and 3.16 kg of CO₂ per kg of jet fuel.
