Air Traffic Over Europe: 24 Hours

A dizzying information visualisation of a day's worth of air travel over Europe. Stay tuned for the 'flip' that shows a cross-section revealing the density of the air traffic. That's a lot of planes, passengers and cargo and a lot of C0².

Related: an info-vis of 24 hours of global air traffic (that link via Coudal) and an interesting visual overview on airport wayfinding signage (via Quips). It's good to see one of the classics of that particular field of design endeavour mentioned there too: the masterful wayfinding signage of Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, designed by Mijksenaar.

Now, where's my luggage?
