Nearly 300,000 users are watching every move of “SPAR19”, an aircraft operated by the US Air Force Boeing C-40C, according to FlightRadar24. Taiwan’s Liberty Times previously reported that Pelosi is expected to arrive at 10:20 p.m. local time by private jet at Songshan Airport in Taipei, which also has a military base.
There is no official confirmation that Pelosi is on the plane. Her potential trip to Taiwan has angered Beijing, which considers the island its territory and has warned of consequences if the trip continues.

Flight SPAR19 took off from Kuala Lumpur’s Subang Airport at around 3:40 p.m., but headed east to Borneo instead of northeast to Taiwan.
The 10 most tracked flights in the world have arrived in Taiwan, according to FlightRadar24 data. The second most watched aircraft on Tuesday after SPAR19 was a China Airlines flight from Jakarta to Taipei, with nearly 20,000 followers.
A representative for the flight-tracking company could not immediately respond to requests for comment.
