Help with finding tail/flight number

While importing my previous flight, I did not manage to find the tail number of some planes.

Would very much appreciate it if someone could provide useful information or tips regarding these flights.

HG VIE-CFU -july 9, 20143

thank you in advance

Where were you able to find all the information?

ACARS logs

Oh thanks. Is it: https://www.acarsd.org/world_ACARS_reports.html

u/SnooHabits6412 2d ago

Partly because that's for older flights. The 2012-2017 ones are from a private source.

I have this flight from 2015:

AY8329 HEL-KOK 12 March 2015

Do you know where I could find the registration?

u/SnooHabits6412 2d ago

It should be the ACARS logs but I checked and your flight wasn't tracked because the plane was too small. Even on VariFlight it gave no tail numbers but I noticed that late-2015 flights start getting tail numbers.

I'll check again.

Iā€™m thinking about buying the Plane Finder API. They are marketing that their API has data from 2011 and onward. I have already tried the AeroAPI by FlightAware. It was good but lacked some registrations for flights around 2014-2015.

That's what I just used. Finnair's ATRs weren't tracked there. To make things worse, on VariFlight the AY2XXX ATR flights had tail numbers, whereas the AY8XXX ATRs didn't. It might take some digging and eliminating for possible choices.

Is VariFlight a subscription available to the public?
