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, because 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.

LAX handled 6,112 flights across four days from June 1 to June 4, 2026, averaging 1,528 movements per day and 63.7 per hour. Arrivals and departures split nearly evenly at 3,073 and 3,039 respectively, with 319 additional ground operations recorded. The busiest day was June 4 with 1,593 total movements. Hour 10 PDT was the peak window, logging 395 flights across all four days combined, with departures outnumbering arrivals 224 to 171. The overnight trough ran from 3 to 5 a.m., bottoming out at 39 total movements in the 4 a.m. hour, almost entirely arrivals. A sharp arrival surge characterizes the early morning, with 111 arrivals logged in the 5 a.m. hour against just 8 departures. San Francisco was the top connecting airport with 286 total movements, followed by Las Vegas (194) and JFK (193). Phoenix, Seattle, Denver, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas Fort Worth, Sacramento, and Portland rounded out the top ten routes. Approach and departure tracks concentrated heavily to the ENE and E, accounting for the two largest directional buckets in both categories. The 1,957 unique aircraft included registrations from 33 countries, with US-registered aircraft making up 1,512 of that total. Canada, Mexico, China, and Japan followed at 69, 53, 47, and 30 aircraft respectively. Altitude data spans from ground level to 51,000 feet, with the average ADS-B position recorded at 20,698 feet across more than 5.19 million data points. The 36,000 to 37,000 foot band was the single most populated altitude range. The longest tracked departure covered 2,876 nautical miles over 348 minutes, flown by French-registered F-GSQC. The highest-altitude flight reached 51,000 feet on a departure to Naples Municipal Airport. Average leg distance was 967.9 nautical miles, with an average duration of 154.1 minutes.
