Every ADS-B-tracked flight visualized in this print — captured over 7 days.

DXB logged 3,447 flights across seven days from September 30 to October 6, 2025, averaging 492 movements per day and 20.5 per hour. Arrivals dominated the capture window heavily, accounting for 3,229 of those flights against only 218 departures. Traffic ran around the clock without interruption, with the busiest single hour falling at noon local time (212 total movements, 206 of them arrivals) and a secondary peak at midnight (208 arrivals). The early morning hours from 1 to 3 local time were the quietest, dipping as low as 94 to 107 total movements per hour. October 1 was the busiest day of the week at 535 movements. The approach traffic split predominantly from the west-northwest, with 1,037 tracked arrivals entering from that direction. ESE was the second most common approach direction at 589, followed by NW at 348. Departures showed a similar WNW preference at 78 of 218 recorded. Among identifiable routes, Muscat (MCT) generated the most traffic at 68 combined movements, with Doha (DOH) second at 45. Sharjah (SHJ) and Al Minhad Air Base (NHD) each contributed 14 arrivals. The 1,003 unique aircraft observed included registrations from at least 38 countries, with UAE-registered aircraft leading at 335 followed by India at 212. Altitude data spanned from ground level to a peak of 47,475 feet, recorded by US-registered N627SS on an arrival covering 374.7 nautical miles. The largest concentration of ADS-B position points fell in the 0 to 1,000 foot band, reflecting the volume of approach and departure phases captured close to the field. Average groundspeed across all tracked legs was 298 knots, with a maximum of 645.6 knots recorded. Total tracked distance across the week came to 900,019 nautical miles, drawn from 1,184,394 individual ADS-B position points.
