PlaneCrashData is an aviation safety intelligence platform that makes incident information accessible to travelers, aviation enthusiasts, and researchers. It organizes historical and recent aviation incidents into searchable records, with information gathered from sources including the Aviation Safety Network and, where possible, checked against public reports from accident investigation authorities.

Users can look up a flight and review its safety history, with optional monitoring and day-of-travel crash alerts. An interactive globe helps visitors follow recent incidents worldwide, while the database supports searches by airline, aircraft, country, or year. Users can also explore airline and aircraft histories and compare records across operators or models.

The platform presents incident details such as flight, aircraft, operator, location, date, and event information, and adds new records as the database is updated. PlaneCrashData also offers a weekly aviation newsletter, mobile access through iOS and Android apps, and a paid Pro subscription with additional monthly lookups and monitors, emailed reports, real-time alerts, and an ad-free experience.
