No. The live tracking passenger aircraft is done by the individual aircraft transmitting a signal on their aircraft, airline, location, speed, altitude, origin and destination.

This is a geo-stationary satellite that NASA put into to orbit that can detect each lightning strike on Earth in the area it covers.
