Masters 2025 Flight Tracker
Watch 1,200+ private jets converge on Augusta for The Masters
Augusta sees more private aviation traffic in one week of April than most US cities see in a year. Between April 4 and April 15, 2025, 3,884 flights touched the Augusta-area airport cluster. 1,211 distinct aircraft. Most arrived for one reason: the Masters.
Round 2 on Friday April 11 was the busiest day. 772 movements across Augusta Regional, Daniel Field, and Aiken Municipal. Traffic clustered in a tight morning window. The single busiest hour ran 9 to 10 a.m. Eastern, when 72 flights crossed the cluster.
Atlanta did most of the staging work, feeding the largest single-airport share of inbound flights, with Peachtree-DeKalb (KPDK) close behind and Charlotte sending another large block. The Florida east coast (Palm Beach, Stuart) rounded out the top-five origins. Mid-size Citations, Phenom 300s, and King Airs dominated the fleet — King Airs in particular logged the most legs per aircraft, working back-and-forth runs between Atlanta and Augusta day after day.
Combined fuel burn worked out to roughly 13,700 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to about 2,900 passenger cars driven for a year. That figure is an estimate built from category-average jet-A burn rates; the methodology page lays out the assumptions.

[email protected]Frequently asked
Where does this data come from?
ADS-B transponder broadcasts captured by community receivers and archived by adsb.lol. We filter to aircraft whose origin or destination airport is in the Augusta-area cluster (KAGS, KDNL, KAIK) during the Masters window.
Does the count include every flight?
No. ADS-B receiver coverage has gaps, especially below 5,000 ft and far from cities. A small number of operators have FAA-approved PIA registration that hides their N-number from public feeds. Treat these counts as a high floor, not a ceiling.
Why does this differ from numbers reported elsewhere?
Most reporters cite arrivals at Augusta Regional (KAGS) only. We include Daniel Field and Aiken, which absorb overflow once KAGS fills up. Same week, different denominator.
How are aircraft categories assigned?
From our internal catalog, which maps ICAO type designators to Light, Midsize, Super Midsize, Heavy, and Ultra Long Range. Helicopters and turboprops get their own buckets. Type codes that we cannot classify show up as Unknown.
Can I use these numbers in a story?
Yes. Credit AceJet and link back to this page. For the chart images, attribution is required (see press kit below).
