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.

March 8, 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of Charles de Gaulle International Airport's opening day, and the ADS-B data captured for this date reflects a single tracked flight. One arrival was recorded, with no departures or ground operations making it into the final dataset. 914 trajectories were filtered out due to incomplete data, leaving one flight anchored to the airport. That single aircraft, French-registered F-GRXF (hex 3946E5), arrived from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) during the 07:00 hour CET, with first detection at 06:06 and final position logged at 08:04. The flight covered 808.3 nautical miles over approximately 117.5 minutes, reaching a peak altitude of 38,000 feet. Average groundspeed across the trajectory came in at 378.0 knots, with a maximum of 487.6 knots. The altitude profile shows the bulk of recorded ADS-B points concentrated at cruise levels, with 151 points between 37,000 and 38,000 feet and 97 points between 33,000 and 34,000 feet. Below 10,000 feet, point density drops sharply, consistent with a descent profile captured over a relatively short segment. The approach direction was logged as SSW. All tracked aircraft originated from France, reflecting the single-aircraft sample. The busiest hour was 07:00, which held the only recorded movement of the day. No departure directions were logged.
