How reliable is flightradar24? [Checking routes]

I'm looking at some intra-Africa travel next week, LOS-ABJ, and the 'usual' OTAs (kayak, expedia, etc) aren't very good at picking up the smaller regional airlines. I've been looking at arrivals and departures at the two airports on fr24, and have found an Arik Air flight (W3 394) which is listed as departing LOS, but has no corresponding arrival info for ABJ.

That flight at that time between those two airports is listed in Arik's schedule found online here, but Abidjan doesn't even show up as a possible destination on their booking engine - which this being Africa, means nothing really either way.

So before I spend an hour on the phone to Arik, how reliable is fr24? Is this flight likely to exist?

Thanks
