About the data

Flights reconstructed from ADS-B — the position signal modern aircraft broadcast to air traffic. Coverage is strongest across North America and Europe, thinner over oceans, polar regions, and parts of Asia and Africa.

Long-haul flights whose paths cross sparsely-covered areas may appear with an unknown origin or destination — the receiver network loses sight of them mid-ocean. We mark those unknown rather than guess. Every flight is still counted in the totals; the route-by-route breakdown filters to flights with identified endpoints.

ADS-B data captured 883 total flights at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK/VTBS) on January 1, 2026, spanning 352 unique aircraft across 17 hours of active operations. Traffic was split nearly evenly between arrivals (444) and departures (439), with an additional 31 ground operations recorded. The busiest hour was 15:00 local time, handling 64 movements (33 arrivals, 31 departures). Activity ran from 07:00 through 23:59, with zero recorded movements between midnight and 07:00. Average throughput held at 36.8 flights per hour across the active window. Nakhon Ratchasima (NAK) was the top route by volume at 90 total movements, heavily weighted toward arrivals (56 vs. 34 departures). Buri Ram (BFV) ranked second at 46 total, also arrival-heavy. Chiang Mai (CNX) was the only top-ten route with a perfectly balanced split, 20 arrivals and 20 departures. Dawei (TVY) in Myanmar was the fifth busiest pairing with 31 movements. Among international connections, Singapore Changi (SIN) and Macau (MFM) appeared exclusively as departure destinations with 11 and 12 movements respectively. The longest captured flight was an arrival from Faisalabad (LYP), Pakistan, covering 1,907.3 nm over 241.3 minutes aboard Turkish-registered TC-JNS. Approach traffic was dominated by the northeast corridor, accounting for 116 of 444 arrivals. Departures showed a broader spread, with northeast (72), east-northeast (53), and south (44) leading. The fleet drew registrations from over 30 countries, with Thai (107) and Chinese (81) registered aircraft comprising the two largest groups. Peak recorded altitude was 45,375 ft, logged by Australian-registered VH-VKF on a 197.9 nm arrival. The average groundspeed across all tracked legs was 234 knots, with a maximum of 642.5 knots recorded.
