The Global Flight Map


This Air Traffic map is a beautiful visualization of aircraft routes around the world. The map simply plots all international and domestic passenger air routes across the globe using green lines on a black background.

Simply by plotting international and domestic flights a fairly clear map of the world emerges. Africa and North & South America can be distinctly seen in the air traffic data. The intense traffic in Europe leads to a fuzzier picture but it is still possible to make out individual countries. If you zoom in on the map you can even identify individual airports on the map.

I'll visit again soon with a link to a version of this map on a Gleason projection.
