Every Plane Flight in the World Over One Year Animated MapSelect a country to view only that countrys incoming and outgoing air traffic. Built with Blueshift data from World Pop. Embed this on map on your website. This globe displays one year of global air passenger traffic. The data comes from modeled estimates compiled for the Vector borne Disease Airport Importation Risk project available for download at World. Pop.  In 2. 01. 0, the year for which the data was modeled, there were roughly 3. In the graphic, the air passenger flows are visualized as 1. Airports are shown as purple spheres, with their size denoting total passenger traffic over the year. The globe should be running smoothly if your browser is up to date. But if your graphics card is complaining, try the 1. For comparison, here is another map, this one made by Dr. Karl Rege at the Zurich School of Applied Sciences. It displays global air traffic over 2. For the most part, both maps reveal the same major patterns. The worlds air traffic is concentrated in the U. S. and Europe, with a few bright blips in south and east Asia. Whats not apparent from looking at the smaller map, but is clear when you zoom in on the globe, is that those blips in Asia are actually denser and brighter than any individual route in the U. S. or Europe. The image below shows the U. S. left and China Japan right at the same zoom level. Thin hairs of air traffic in the U.

Denver International to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International, Americas most trafficked route, ranks only 1. The busiest flight route involving a European airport, New York JFK to London Heathrow, doesnt appear until number 2. Here is what the top 1. The numbers shown reflect modeled estimates for 2. More than anything, the globe offers a interesting perspective on how the world is connected. If you want to take a closer look, click here for the full screen map. Embed this map.
