What the China Eastern tracker can confirm
This profile uses airline code MU, the reference hub Shanghai (PVG), and a rounded fleet figure of 600 aircraft to help identify China Eastern traffic on the globe. Fleet totals and route networks change as aircraft are delivered, stored, leased or retired, so they are descriptive reference values rather than a live company filing.
PocketWorld displays aircraft only when a usable public ADS-B observation and enough metadata are available. A missing flight does not mean that it was cancelled, and a callsign match does not replace the operating airline's schedule or status page.
Aviation data sources
Live positions are aggregated from OpenSky Network and community ADS-B providers. Coverage, update intervals and route metadata vary by aircraft and region.

Open the map and search for a flight number such as MU100, an airline code or a callsign. Results depend on available public telemetry and metadata.
How many China Eastern flights are in the air right now?

How current is the tracking data?
Read the observation timestamp for each aircraft. Provider latency, receiver coverage and transponder behavior affect freshness and completeness.
