Airports and airlines run on where things are: aircraft on approach, on the runway, on stand; tugs, fuel and baggage around them; a fleet spread across the world. Icon Map puts all of it on one live, interactive map, inside the Power BI reports and Microsoft Fabric workspaces you already use.
Real traffic at London Heathrow, recorded from adsb.lol · 3D aircraft in Icon Map for Fabric
Operations you can see
Flight tracks, stand allocations, turnaround milestones, ground vehicle telemetry and schedules already sit in your data platform. Icon Map shows them where they happen, so an operations team sees the airfield, not a table: which runway is in use, who is holding, how long departures are taxiing, where the stands are filling up.
Build operational and network reports in Power BI with Icon Map Pro, or bring live feeds, 3D aircraft and playback together in Microsoft Fabric with Icon Map for Fabric.
Airport operations · London Heathrow
Real traffic at Heathrow, recorded from public ADS-B data and replayed as 3D aircraft: arrivals on the approach to 27L, departures rolling on 27R, aircraft taxiing and on stand, with tugs, fuel and baggage around them. Click any aircraft to follow it.
Aircraft positions: ADS-B data recorded around London Heathrow from adsb.lol (open data under the ODbL), replayed with each aircraft interpolated between its reported positions, speeds and tracks, and snapped to the taxiway centerlines on the ground. Tails are painted in each airline's colors (simple designs, not the airlines' own tail art); trails show arrivals and departures. The ground vehicles are simulated around the real aircraft movements. The airfield (runways, taxiways, aprons, stands and terminals) is drawn from Icon Map's built-in basemap data. 3D models, playback and the time slider are features of Icon Map for Fabric.
How it works
ADS-B and multilateration feeds, ground vehicle telematics and stand systems flow into Fabric through Eventstream, or sit in your Lakehouse and Warehouse for history.

Icon Map for Fabric · Icon Map ProAcross airports and airlines
Arrivals, departures and ground movements on one map, with runway use, holding and taxi times measured as they happen.
Stand occupancy, turnaround milestones and delays by stand and pier, with the ground handling fleet around each aircraft.
Track tugs, fuel bowsers, buses and baggage tractors, see utilization by area, and spot vehicles where they should not be.
Routes as great circles on a 3D globe, sized by passengers or revenue, with the fleet's positions and utilization beside them.
Map delay by origin, route, runway and stand, and drill from the network to the turnaround that caused it.
Flight tracks against noise monitors, residential areas and the population around the airport, from your data and the Icon Map Catalog.
Restricted zones, runway incursions and incident locations in spatial context, for investigation and regulatory reporting.
Passenger flows, queues and retail across terminal floors, alongside the airside operation that drives them.
