33,680 daily flights ✈️ across the European aviation network in Week 33 (12-18.08), ▼1% vs Week 32 - but ⬆️4.2% vs the same period in 2023. That's typical for mid-August & also reflects the public holiday in many countries on Thu 15.08. Network traffic for August up to the 18th was at 98% of 2019 levels, close to our latest base STATFOR forecast (97%) – but at State level, the situation is more diverse, with some ACCs in the South-East axis experiencing traffic growth well beyond that. Year-to-date global traffic? 95% of 2019, ⬆️5% vs 2023. ⛈️ Convective weather resulted in significant delays across the week (3.5 minutes/flight, on average) – notably at Palma on Wednesday to Friday, triggering some diversions & cancellations. For July, around €1 billion in en-route air navigation charges were billed, ⬆️8% vs 2023. Read our latest #EuropeanAviationOverview 👇 https://lnkd.in/e9YbFKrK

The security-line was buuuuuuusy at Portland International Airport which is a wonderful sign for travel demand, with early flights to destinations including John F. Kennedy International Airport, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Port of Seattle, Los Angeles International Airport. Wanting to look into the increase of air traffic which is one of the FAA’s top 5 2024 trends, and how that’s impacting the performance of flights, including analyzing what could have impacted that aircraft for it to deviate from its flight-path? Cirium’s airline schedules, access to flight-plan data, flight-status, satelitte flight tracking and NOTAM tunneling can help bring that story to life, (as Peter Falk did for Fred Savage in 1987) ✈️ Cirium’s aviation data-sets: https://lnkd.in/gFeaa-UW #management #innovative #technology #creative

According to a new market research report published by Global Market Estimates, the global flight data monitoring market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2024 to 2029. The market is anticipated to grow as a result of the rising volume of air travel, the increasing number of connected airplanes, and the growing need for real-time monitoring systems.

Airspace worldwide experiences high air traffic during the peak summer travel season. The surge in passenger traffic driven by vacations, holidays, and tourism creates increased demand for air travel across continents. Consequently, airports and airspace around the globe can become significantly congested during this period. To address the congestion and efficiently manage the high volume of air traffic, the implementation of RVSM, or Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum, plays a crucial role. By reducing the vertical separation between aircraft from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet at altitudes above 29,000 feet, RVSM effectively doubles the capacity of airspace globally. With improved efficiency, air traffic control can safely handle more flights, leading to enhanced flow management, reduced congestion, and better utilization of airspace resources. Although congestion is expected during the peak summer travel season, collaborative efforts among airlines, airports, and aviation authorities work towards optimizing operations to provide a smoother travel experience amidst the higher levels of air traffic. Initiatives such as flight schedule optimizations, flow management systems, and adherence to RVSM regulations help alleviate congestion and minimize delays, guaranteeing passengers a more efficient and enjoyable travel experience during summertime. https://lnkd.in/eURNBYWM https://lnkd.in/eiKJ_YgS https://lnkd.in/eR7hbfkx

💡Aviation word of the day - TERMINAL AREA: 🔹 Airspace in which approach control service or airport traffic control service is provided 🔹 It includes the airspace around airports where air traffic controllers manage the arrival and departure of aircraft 🔹 Approach control service guides aircraft as they descend or climb within the terminal area, ensuring safe separation and efficient traffic flow

Juneau International Airport (JNU) is one of only two ways to access Alaska’s capital city of Juneau. (The other is by boat.) Due to the mountainous terrain and severe weather conditions, JNU has a history of more delayed or cancelled flights than most airports. ✈️ In an effort to reduce those delays and cancellations, in 1996, Alaska Airlines became the first airline in the world to use an aircraft-based navigation, Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approach, to navigate the Gastineau Channel into Juneau. Today, RNP aircraft operate in terrain-challenged airports all over the world to fly precise ground tracks repeatedly, and approach closely spaced parallel runways in inclement weather. RNP approaches are also used to avoid restricted airspace such as that of Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C., with its proximity to the White House. Fact Contributor: Steve Noble, PE
