Thanksgiving Flight Traffic
See 2020 vs. 2019 Thanksgiving travel numbers, plus the latest traffic data from around the world. (flightaware.com) More...
This is measuring (ABS-B traffic) what can be measured - airlines policies and loading will vary passenger counts. Commercial traffic likely also includes cargo haulers which skew assumptions about the passenger numbers.
Interesting to see data - consistent with what I've seen at my location.

Interesting data for sure, but I think the TSA screened numbers are more interesting.
The ideal figure would have been down 100% of course, but the real tragedy is that down 37% means millions of people chose personal satisfaction over societal awareness - just like always!
And I am a commercial airline and travel nut. But there has to be a circuit-breaker somewhere, and sometime soon.

Interesting thought experiment about "societal awareness." Obviously we don't stop our lives to save every life. For example, my grandparents think it is dumb for the world to shut down when people can protect themselves by staying home and taking precautions. The best moral solution isn't easy to compute. Does stopping the lives of 7 billion ppl by locking them in their homes for a year worth saving 3% of the population? Why is it immoral to spread covid but morally acceptable to feed your family foods that contribute to the deadliest condition in the US, heart disease. We're okay with living through the risks of other events & diseases. What I don't understand is where is that line and why is it there?
Agree. You’re talking about balance. Everything works that has balance. ( on a boat, you have to have ppl sit in certain seats to balance the ride,right?) greed, that’s what’s causing the symptoms you’re speaking about.....it’s the all about me and to hell with others! We can’t live scared about everything! Smart yes but scared no. For instance, if my immune system is weak and I know that about myself, I don’t need to put myself in situations they may cause me to be sick. There’re many things besides covid that this applies to. Remember that when you’ve had too much alcohol but think it’s ok to still drive.
Is it 3% or 0.3% or 0.03%?
Right on!
