FR24 Communication
Below are some of the communications we have had with Flightradar24.com. In this instance we enquired about the airstrip which was located for many weeks in the Bay of Guinea, but which disappeared almost immediately we published images of it and numerous aircraft landing in that location.
We will also (soon hopefully) present the evidence presented by Metabunk that seem to contradict what they say. It is fair to assume that what Metabunk present is completely fictitious, as most of their evidence is, and that what FR24 say about the way their system works is correct. This is also delightfully satisfying evidence that proves we can’t trust what we read on Metabunk ! It’s ALL MADE UP. I’m sure given time other examples such as this would come to light if we looked at Metabunk’s rather childish website for long enough.

Hi there, I recently tracked 2 planes form Buenos Aires to Paris and Frankfurt. On the images of the flight-paths they both seem to have a huge deviation to an island airport near Africa.
Can you please confirm if this is a radar anomaly or if this is indeed the correct flightpath?
Can you also see if you can determine the departure times of both of these flights?
Can you also confirm what your coverage is over north Africa. I seem to track regular flights from Amsterdam, which invariably disappear over Lybia or Egypt. They sometime re-appear on the return leg, but show the entire flightpath. How is that possible?
I look forward o hearing from you ASAP.

Who was that airstrip registered to and what are its coordinates?
Can you tell me why the airstrip was removed following publication of these images some time ago?
Can you also tell me who owns Flightradar 24 and if it has changed hands or been subject to any external influence in the last year or so. I ask as it seem there have been quite a few alterations to the software recently.
I look forward to your reply.

Mike, thank you for getting back to me,An airstrip was once featured on FR24 near to the coordinates 00N 00E. When I published images of European commercial carriers landing there in June, the airstrip disappeared. Some people, that are not linked to your organisation, are now claiming it was a glitch that was reported to you and fixed. I do not believe that is the case. If it were we would not have seen aircraft stopping in that area long after the airstrip was removed. Also if it were a glitch, the aircraft I have pictured there are in all sorts of varying coordinates, some many miles apart. They have been spotted approaching, stopping and then leaving a short while later. I know there is a website Metabunk that is frantically trying to make up stuff to explain what I have seen, and I suspect they have been in contact with you, or at least someone connected to them has, to try and convince you to remove the airstrip, so as not to draw attention to the flight activity in that area.More revealing images here:I would like your comments on this please. I look forward to your response and explanation.Regards,Ian SimpsonOn Tue 31/12/13 1:51 PM , “Flightradar24.com” support@fr24.com sent:Please accept our apologies for the delay which is due to the Christmas Holiday.Thank you for contacting Flightradar24.com.Your Support reference is 29005.I’m sorry, but I don’t understand the question and its relevance to the Facebook link?Flightradar24 is a private company and there has been no change of ownership.
