Global airplane traffic NOW vs February

- Global aircraft traffic has been severely affected by recent events. See how many fewer airplanes are flying around the world today using visualizations from FlightRadar24.
The United States, Europe and Asia have all seen drastic airline reductions within the past month and it will only get worse.
I'm surprised still so much traffic over the US
I know right? A bunch of empty planes but planes nonetheless!
Very interesting to see these COMPARISON MAPS! Worth to shareee! Thx🙏🏼👏👏👏👏
As Scheduled service (Part 121 operators), Airlines have a commitment their published schedule. These schedules are usually 4 months long. I would expect to see a dramatic drop in the coming month when the new schedules are published.
Thx for the answer. I've heard similar things about contractual obligations.
I work for one of these major airlines and because we "took the money" we have to maintain flying to all the cities we were flying to as of March 1. Now the govt ranked each of those cities 1-2-3 and effectively we have to only maintain a certain number of flight daily or weekly to these destinations. There is a great video of how that works found here: ruclips.net/video/K8OPEUowLf8/видео.html
I live close to amsterdam airport and i can confirm, it is very silent here.....
super!
FlighAware has 20 flights arriving at LAX in the next hour and 20 flights leaving in the next 5 hours or so. I'm not sure how that compares to usual flight loads - but I'm sure it's less than usual. I live in SF, CA and am accustomed to many flights from SFO passing over my house during the day and night, mostly flights heading south or west. There's been a amazing reduction in flights overhead.
On a different topic Wolficorn, what editing software do use to edit your videos? Sorry to go off topic.
Thx for the comment. I use Premiere
That 1500 aircraft cap is going to be for performance reasons. If it was uncapped it would bog down too much. I’m a perfect world there would be a slider that you could set.
Makes sense. Slider would be nice indeed. I wish FR would at least display the total number flying, similar to what they do for the global number. Thanks for your comment.
Showing the actual count wouldn't hurt performance. The website still doesn't need to display all the planes on the map.
Jay Philip Williams yeah, I’m guessing it’s just reflecting the data cap directly. Would be nice to have a separate indicator for that stat.
Crazy
I looked on Flight aware last night and thought it was wrong so then verified with flight radar. And when you zoom in there were many freight flights from UPS and Fedex.
Huge contrast now vs Feb ... but I suspect u will see an even bigger difference by 2nd or 3rd week of April :-(
I agree about April. BTW, I saw your comment on the other video link, but I had to delete and repost. Sorry about that!
You probably going to find there mostly cargo aircraft in the sky right now
I'm willing to bet there is a significant drop in passangers on those planes now as well....
Absolutely! I've heard most planes are around 15% full these days. I'm not gonna be one of 'em!!!
From an SWA pilot last week...did a 4-day trip and only had 200 total passengers over all four days (16 flights). Talked to another Delta feeder CRJ-900 pilot...only four passengers on his flight out of Norfolk last week.
I can’t understand why there are any passenger planes flying at the moment. Cargo yes but people no. What essential travel are flyers doing. Most of the world is on lockdown or versions thereof yet still so many planes. Just doesn’t make sense.
I heard somewhere that it had something to do with contractual agreements. That said, it does seem crazy. Also, I hear grounding planes is an expensive proposition as well. I wish somebody would chime in here with a better explanation.

Wow great link. Thx. It's gonna get worse before it gets better.
