This is how the worlds plane traffic look like.

[Harald]

This is a graphic representation that shows that it is nearly traffic jam on some of the world’s flight routes.

Every day does nearly six million people takes a seat in a airplane to let it bring themselves form one place to the other place all around this world.

Now the Swiss Engineer Collage has made this visual representation of how the world’s airplane traffic looks like from space.

The representation shows a period of 24 hours, and clearly shows that there is all most traffic jams on some of the routes, but Africa seems quite still with only 4% of the worlds airplane traffic.

On a side note can it be added that the airplanes of the world transported 2.13 Billion people in 2006.

Accounting to Science Daily is the airplane traffic expected to increase with 5% every year. That will say that the number of passengers is the double in 2025.

Might look scary, but keep in mind that most of us are only familier with traveling in 2 deminsions... planes can make use of the 3rd with altitude. There are "highways" up there and different flight levels allow for several miles of separation even if the planes are at the same latitude / longitude.

Very cool link... thx for posting!

But bear in mind this:
"On a side note can it be added that the airplanes of the world transported 2.13 Billion people in 2006."

And what Rayne Jade:
...planes can make use of the 3rd with altitude. There are "highways" up there and different flight levels allow for several miles of separation even if the planes are at the same latitude / longitude.

So flying is pretty safe transportation

Something else to consider... and sometimes I just like to terrorize those that have a fear of flying...

1) Gravity is always "on".

2) All planes eventually land... controlled or uncontrolled.

Enjoy your flight
