What's New in Contrail

1.6.1

May 13, 2026

Replay your favourite trips in 3D. Tap any flight in My Passport and watch the full route play back with cinematic camera moves — exclusive to Pro. Emergency squawk alerts (7500, 7600, 7700) are now free for everyone. Pick worldwide or a nearby radius and we'll push you when an aircraft starts squawking distress, hijack, or radio failure. Discover loads instantly now. The notable-aircraft feed pre-warms on app launch and is kept hot in the background, so the first tap on Discover lands on data instead of a spinner. Plus everything new in 1.6: the Discover hero feed (Air Force One, royal flights, celebrity jets), the single Layers button gathering every map overlay, UK Royal & military push and airspace, watchlist nearby scope, OGN gliders, gate-to-gate scheduled times, and a much faster live map.
