byAir vs. App in the Air

Your flight history isn't lost. Your next chapter starts here.

We know how much App in the Air meant to you. When it shut down in October 2024, years of carefully logged flights and travel memories suddenly felt at risk. We felt that loss too.

byAir was built by travelers who loved what App in the Air represented: a real travel companion, not just a flight tracker. Everything you relied on is here: trip organization, flight statistics, email import, boarding passes, multi-language support, and native apps for both iOS and Android.

byAir has also moved further. You now get delay predictions, inbound aircraft tracking, airport delay indexes, Live Activities on iOS, Live Updates on Android, Quick Scan for PDFs and ticket photos, Gmail/Outlook auto-scan across multiple mailboxes, trip purpose per mailbox, and AI Integration through MCP.

Missed the export window? You can still recover many flights. Connect Calendar Sync, enable Email Auto-Scan, use Quick Scan on saved confirmations or screenshots, or import a file if you saved one before the shutdown.

byAir is actively developed with frequent updates and responsive support. Your travel history has a new home.

Welcome back.

What byAir users say

Alessio Cantarella

I was desperate when App in the Air was closed, but then I found byAir, which is even better. It offers more stats, and I was able to import all my flights from the previous app.

I used App in The Air for every trip before it was removed. This has been a game changer, with the same detail and friendly interface.

Charly Lima

Finally I found a suitable alternative to App in the Air that runs on both Android and iOS. It also runs on my Galaxy Watch.

Adam Day

Love the UI design. Great alternative to App in the Air, and superior in many ways. Support even helped me import my flights.

Shane Price

I used App in the Air a lot and moved to byAir as an alternative. Since moving, the app has consistently gotten better and the new features make this my favorite app now.

Great app. Lots of features. It found my previous flights when synced with my Gmail account and imported them.
