El Bez says the Aireon space-based ADS-B data, in particular, is filling out gaps in flight tracking coverage.

There are huge benefits to areas of this world that are not covered by ground-based radar - e.g. most of Northern Canada. Not only the accuracy of the platform, the immediacy, and the selectivity available to controllers, but the availability of flight-following to smaller companies in remote areas. It will definitely revolutionize traffic separation and flight following.
