    Project report on Skytrack: online flight tracking system in the domain full stack web development
    (New Horizon College, 2026) Aayan Punera, U19KU23S0009
    In today’s fast-paced world, travelers need quick, reliable, and live updates about their flights to avoid confusion and scheduling delays. This project report presents SkyTrack, a real-time flight tracking web application designed specifically to help users in India easily monitor commercial flights. The main goal of this project is to turn raw, complex aviation data into a clean, simple, and helpful user interface that anyone can navigate without stress. To achieve this, the system is built using the popular MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js), which ensures high performance and speed. The backend server manages the core logic of the application and connects to a cloud-hosted MongoDB database using Mongoose. This allows the system to securely store user profiles and keep a persistent record of their search histories. To guarantee user privacy, the app implements strict security measures: user passwords are fully encrypted using bcrypt, and active user sessions are safely managed using JSON Web Tokens (JWT). The core feature of SkyTrack—live flight updates—is powered by integrating global aviation data feeds (APIs). This allows the application to fetch real-time information such as exact departure and arrival times, terminal numbers, boarding gates, and any active flight delays. On the frontend, React.js creates a fast and responsive user experience. Through their personal dashboard, logged-in users can search for flights by flight numbers or route codes, view their recent search history, and pin specific flights to watch them closely. Ultimately, SkyTrack provides a practical and secure solution to real-world travel anxiety, proving how modern full-stack development tools can be used effectively.
