1) Data Introduction • The European Flights Dataset is a tabulated dataset of more than 680,000 air traffic records, including instrument flight (IFR) arrivals and operations at major European airports from January 2016 to May 2022.

2) Data Utilization (1) European Flights Dataset has characteristics that: • Each row contains 14 key items, including year, month, flight date, airport code and name, country name, and number of departures, arrivals, and total flights based on IFR. • The data are segmented by airport, country, and month, so they are well structured to analyze time series and spatial changes in European air traffic. (2) European Flights Dataset can be used to: • Analysis of Air Traffic Trends and Recovery: Using IFR operational performance by year, month, and airport, you can analyze changes in air traffic before and after the pandemic, seasonal trends, and speed of recovery. • Airport and Country Comparison Study: National/Airport performance data can be used to compare and evaluate major hub airports, cross-country aviation network structure, policy effectiveness, and more.

As new technologies are developed to handle the complexities of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), it is increasingly important to address both current and future safety concerns along with the operational, environmental, and efficiency issues within the National Airspace System (NAS). In recent years, the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) safety offices have been researching ways to utilize the many safety databases maintained by the FAA, such as those involving flight recorders, radar tracks, weather, and many other high-volume sensors, in order to monitor this unique and complex system. Although a number of current technologies do monitor the frequency of known safety risks in the NAS, very few methods currently exist that are capable of analyzing large data repositories with the purpose of discovering new and previously unmonitored safety risks. While monitoring the frequency of known events in the NAS enables mitigation of already identified problems, a more proactive approach of finding unidentified issues still needs to be addressed. This is especially important in the proactive identification of new, emergent safety issues that may result from the planned introduction of advanced NextGen air traffic management technologies and procedures. Development of an automated tool that continuously evaluates the NAS to discover both events exhibiting flight characteristics indicative of safety-related concerns as well as operational anomalies will heighten the awareness of such situations in the aviation community and serve to increase the overall safety of the NAS. This paper discusses the extension of previous anomaly detection work to identify operationally significant flights within the highly complex airspace encompassing the New York area of operations, focusing on the major airports of Newark International (EWR), LaGuardia International (LGA), and John F. Kennedy International (JFK). In addition, flight traffic in the vicinity of Denver International (DEN) airport/airspace is also investigated to evaluate the impact on operations due to variances in seasonal weather and airport elevation. From our previous research, subject matter experts determined that some of the identified anomalies were significant, but could not reach conclusive findings without additional supportive data. To advance this research further, causal examination using domain experts is continued along with the integration of air traffic control (ATC) voice data to shed much needed insight into resolving which flight characteristic(s) may be impacting an aircraft's unusual profile. Once a flight characteristic is identified, it could be included in a list of potential safety precursors. This paper also describes a process that has been developed and implemented to automatically identify and produce daily reports on flights of interest from the previous day.

This record is a global open-source passenger air traffic dataset primarily dedicated to the research community. It gives a seating capacity available on each origin-destination route for a given year, 2019, and the associated aircraft and airline when this information is available. Context on the original work is given in the related article (https://journals.open.tudelft.nl/joas/article/download/7201/5683) and on the associated GitHub page (https://github.com/AeroMAPS/AeroSCOPE/).A simple data exploration interface will be available at www.aeromaps.eu/aeroscope.The dataset was created by aggregating various available open-source databases with limited geographical coverage. It was then completed using a route database created by parsing Wikipedia and Wikidata, on which the traffic volume was estimated using a machine learning algorithm (XGBoost) trained using traffic and socio-economical data. 1- DISCLAIMER The dataset was gathered to allow highly aggregated analyses of the air traffic, at the continental or country levels. At the route level, the accuracy is limited as mentioned in the associated article and improper usage could lead to erroneous analyses. Although all sources used are open to everyone, the Eurocontrol database is only freely available to academic researchers. It is used in this dataset in a very aggregated way and under several levels of abstraction. As a result, it is not distributed in its original format as specified in the contract of use. As a general rule, we decline any responsibility for any use that is contrary to the terms and conditions of the various sources that are used. In case of commercial use of the database, please contact us in advance. 2- DESCRIPTION Each data entry represents an (Origin-Destination-Operator-Aircraft type) tuple. Please refer to the support article for more details (see above). The dataset contains the following columns:

The National Airspace System (NAS) is an ever changing and complex engineering system. As the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) is developed, there will be an increased emphasis on safety and operational and environmental efficiency. Current operations in the NAS are monitored using a variety of data sources, including data from flight recorders, radar track data, weather data, and other massive data collection systems. Although numerous technologies exist to monitor the frequency of known but undesirable behaviors in the NAS, there are currently few methods that can analyze the large repositories to discover new and previously unknown events in the NAS. Having a tool to discover events that have implications for safety or incidents of operational importance, increases the awareness of such scenarios in the community and helps to broaden the overall safety of the NAS, whereas only monitoring the frequency of known events can only provide mitigations for already established problems. This paper discusses a novel approach for discovering operationally significant events in the NAS that are currently not monitored and have potential safety and/or efficiency implications using radar-track data. This paper will discuss the discovery algorithm and describe in detail some flights of interest with comments from subject matter experts who are familiar with the operations in the airspace that was studied.

Context

Have you taken a flight in the U.S. in the past 15 years? If so, then you are a part of monthly data that the U.S. Department of Transportation's TranStats service makes available on various metrics for 15 U.S. airlines and 30 major U.S airports. Their website unfortunately does not include a method for easily downloading and sharing files. Furthermore, the source is built in ASP.NET, so extracting the data is rather cumbersome. To allow easier community access to this rich source of information, I scraped the metrics for every airline / airport combination and stored them in separate CSV files.

Occasionally, an airline doesn't serve a certain airport, or it didn't serve it for the entire duration that the data collection period covers*. In those cases, the data either doesn't exist or is typically too sparse to be of much use. As such, I've only uploaded complete files for airports that an airline served for the entire uninterrupted duration of the collection period. For these files, there should be 174 time series points for one or more of the nine columns below. I recommend any of the files for American, Delta, or United Airlines for outstanding examples of complete and robust airline data.

* No data for Atlas Air exists, and Virgin America commenced service in 2007, so no folders for either airline are included.

Content

There are 13 airlines that have at least one complete dataset. Each airline's folder includes CSV file(s) for each airport that are complete as defined by the above criteria. I've double-checked the files, but if you find one that violates the criteria, please point it out. The file names have the format "AIRLINE-AIRPORT.csv", where both AIRLINE and AIRPORT are IATA codes. For a full listing of the airlines and airports that the codes correspond to, check out the airline_codes.csv or airport_codes.csv files that are included, or perform a lookup here. Note that the data in each airport file represents metrics for flights that originated at the airport.

Among the 13 airlines in data.zip, there are a total of 161 individual datasets. There are also two special folders included - airlines_all_airports.csv and airports_all_airlines.csv. The first contains datasets for each airline aggregated over all airports, while the second contains datasets for each airport aggregated over all airlines. To preview a sample dataset, check out all_airlines_all_airports.csv, which contains industry-wide data.

Each file includes the following metrics for each month from October 2002 to March 2017:

1. Date (YYYY-MM-DD): All dates are set to the first of the month. The day value is just a placeholder and has no significance.
2. ASM_Domestic: Available Seat-Miles in thousands (000s). Number of domestic flights * Number of seats on each flight
3. ASM_International*: Available Seat-Miles in thousands (000s). Number of international flights * Number of seats on each flight
4. Flights_Domestic
5. Flights_International*
6. Passengers_Domestic
7. Passengers_International*
8. RPM_Domestic: Revenue Passenger-Miles in thousands (000s). Number of domestic flights * Number of paying passengers
9. RPM_International*: Revenue Passenger-Miles in thousands (000s). Number of international flights * Number of paying passengers

* Frequently contains missing values

Inspiration

The airline / airport datasets are perfect for practicing and/or testing time series forecasting with classic statistical models such as autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), or modern deep learning techniques such as long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. The datasets typically show evidence of trends, seasonality, and noise, so modeling and accurate forecasting can be challenging, but still more tractable than time series problems possessing more stochastic elements, e.g. stocks, currencies, commodities, etc. The source releases new data each month, so feel free to check your models' performances against new data as it comes out. I will update the files here every 3 to 6 months depending on how things go.

A future plan is to build a SQLite database so a vast array of queries can be run against the data. The data in it its current time series format is not conducive for this, so coming up with a workable structure for the tables is the first step towards this goal. If you have any suggestions for how I can improve the data presentation, or anything that you would like me to add, please let me know. Looking forward to seeing the questions that we can answer together!

Motivation

The data in this dataset is derived and cleaned from the full OpenSky dataset to illustrate the development of air traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic. It spans all flights seen by the network's more than 2500 members since 1 January 2019. More data has been periodically included in the dataset until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We stopped updating the dataset after December 2022. Previous files have been fixed after a thorough sanity check.

C. UPDATE PROCESS Data is available starting in July 1999 and will be updated monthly.

D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET Airport data is seasonal in nature; therefore, any comparative analyses should be done on a period-over-period basis (i.e. January 2010 vs. January 2009) as opposed to period-to-period (i.e. January 2010 vs. February 2010). It is also important to note that fact and attribute field relationships are not always 1-to-1. For example, Cargo Statistics belonging to United Airlines will appear in multiple attribute fields and are additive, which provides flexibility for the user to derive categorical Cargo Statistics as desired.

E. RELATED DATASETS A summary of monthly comparative air-traffic statistics is also available on SFO’s internet site at

Dataset Overview: Flight Price Dataset of Bangladesh

Introduction

The "Bangladesh Flight Fare Dataset" is a synthetic dataset comprising 57,000 flight records tailored to represent air travel scenarios originating from Bangladesh. This dataset simulates realistic flight fare dynamics, capturing key factors such as airline operations, airport specifics, travel classes, booking behaviors, and seasonal variations specific to Bangladesh’s aviation market. It is designed for researchers, data scientists, and analysts interested in flight fare prediction, travel pattern analysis, or machine learning/deep learning applications. By combining real-world inspired statistical distributions and aviation industry standards, this dataset provides a robust foundation for exploring flight economics in a South Asian context.

Dataset Purpose

This dataset aims to: - Facilitate predictive modeling of flight fares, with "Total Fare (BDT)" as the primary target variable. - Enable analysis of travel trends, including the impact of cultural festivals (e.g., Eid, Hajj) and booking timings on pricing. - Serve as a training resource for machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models, with sufficient sample size (50,000) and feature diversity for generalization. - Provide a realistic yet synthetic representation of Bangladesh’s air travel ecosystem, blending domestic and international flight scenarios.

Data Collection and Methodology

The dataset is synthetically generated using Python, with its methodology rooted in real-world aviation data and statistical principles. Below is a detailed breakdown of its construction:

1. Data Components

• Airlines:
  • Count: 25 airlines (21 international, 4 domestic).
  • Source: Compiled from Bangladesh Civil Aviation Authority and Airline History, including major carriers like Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Biman Bangladesh Airlines.
  • Selection: Random uniform choice per flight record to reflect operational diversity.
• Airports:
  • Source Airports: 8 domestic airports (e.g., DAC - Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka).
  • Destination Airports: 20 airports (8 domestic + 12 international, e.g., DXB - Dubai International Airport).
  • Coordinates: Sourced from World Airport Codes, used for distance calculations.
  • Full Names: Added for readability, mapped via a dictionary (e.g., "DAC" → "Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka").
• Travel Classes: Economy, Business, First Class, standard across the industry, randomly assigned with uniform distribution.
• Booking Sources: Direct Booking, Travel Agency, Online Website, reflecting common methods, per Statista, with uniform random selection.
• Aircraft Types: Boeing 777, Airbus A320, Boeing 737, Boeing 787, Airbus A350, assigned based on flight distance, sourced from Boeing and Airbus.

2. Key Calculations

• Distance:

  • Method: Haversine formula calculates great-circle distance: a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos(φ₁) cos(φ₂) sin²(Δλ/2) c = 2 arctan2(√a, √(1-a)) d = R · c, R = 6371 km

• Purpose: Determines flight duration, aircraft type, and stopovers.

• Source: Wikipedia - Haversine Formula.

• Flight Duration:

• Formula: Duration = max(d/s · U(0.9, 1.1), 0.5), where s is speed (300 km/h for <500 km, 600 km/h for 500-2000 km, 900 km/h for >2000 km), and U is uniform random variation.

• Source: Speeds adjusted from World Atlas, ensuring realism (e.g., DAC to CGP ~45 minutes).

• Fares:

• Base Fares:

• Domestic: Economy (2000-5000 BDT), Business (5000-10000 BDT), First Class (10000-15000 BDT).

• International: Economy (5000-70000 BDT), Business (15000-150000 BDT), First Class (25000-300000 BDT).

• Source: Derived from Trip.com and Expedia, e.g., DAC to LHR ~$380-600 (~41800-66000 BDT at 1 USD = 110 BDT).

• Adjustments:

• Seasonal multipliers (Regular: 1.0, Eid: 1.3, Hajj: 1.5, Winter: 1.2), per demand trends from Timeanddate.com.

• Days Before Departure: 20% discount (60+ days), 10% discount (30-59 days), 20% surge (<5 days), per Skyscanner.

• Taxes: Domestic: 200 BDT; International: 2000-6000 BDT + 15% base fare, per [Bangladesh Civil Aviation Authority](https://www.dgca.g...

As of 2023, approximately 2.4% of American Airlines' flights were canceled, according to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) This rate reflects a variety of operational challenges, including weather, staffing, and air traffic control restrictions. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) Compared to its competitors, American ranks somewhere in the middle—not the best, but not the worst.

Over 200,000 scheduled flights take off annually under the American Airlines brand, and even a 2.4% cancellation rate means thousands of flights are affected. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) These disruptions can leave travelers scrambling for alternatives or stuck in airports. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) The cancellation rate becomes especially relevant during peak seasons and holidays.

On average, the cancellation rate increases to 4%–6% during major weather events or holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) That means during these times, the chance of being affected nearly doubles. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) Always plan accordingly by having backup options and checking forecasts ahead of time.

The causes of cancellations fall under two categories: controllable and uncontrollable. In American’s case, about 60% of cancellations are due to controllable factors like crew scheduling. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) That’s why the airline may be responsible for accommodations or rebooking in such cases. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) Uncontrollable causes, like bad weather, usually don’t require reimbursement.

American Airlines' main hubs—such as Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Charlotte (CLT), and Chicago O'Hare (ORD)—experience higher rates of cancellations due to operational complexity. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) These high-traffic hubs are also more sensitive to ripple effects caused by a single cancellation. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) Monitor your departure and connection airports before flying.

Statistics also show that early morning flights (before 9 AM) have a slightly lower cancellation rate. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) As the day progresses, delays and cancellations tend to increase, mostly due to cascading logistical challenges. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) Booking early can be a strategic move to avoid problems.

American Airlines publishes performance metrics monthly, which include on-time performance and cancellation rates. In August 2023, the airline saw a temporary spike with 3.1% cancellations. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) This was largely due to nationwide weather issues and increased summer travel demand. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) It's helpful to look at these trends before booking.

FlightAware, a real-time flight tracking service, often reports higher cancellation rates on busy travel days. On Memorial Day weekend, American had over 650 canceled flights nationwide. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) When the system is stressed, airline performance typically suffers. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) Consider flexibility in your travel schedule for such times.

Despite its cancellations, American has improved operational resilience in recent years. In 2021, the cancellation rate was over 5.5%, which has now been nearly cut in half. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) That suggests investment in technology, staffing, and better coordination is paying off. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) Still, no airline is immune to problems.

If your flight is canceled, American typically offers rebooking on the next available flight or a full refund if you choose not to travel. ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) Call ☎️+1.(888)+800-9117 (US) or +44.(203)+900-0080(UK) to request compensation or assistance from an agent.

The GOES-R PLT ER-2 Flight Navigation Data dataset consists of multiple altitude, pressure, temperature parameters, airspeed, and ground speed measurements collected by the NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft for flights that occurred during the GOES-R Post Launch Test (PLT) field campaign. The GOES-R PLT airborne science field campaign took place between March 21 and May 17, 2017 in support of the post-launch product validation of the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). ER-2 navigation data files in ASCII-IWG1 format are available for March 21, 2017 through May 17, 2017.

This layer visualizes over 60,000 commercial flight paths. The data was obtained from openflights.org, and was last updated in June 2014. The site states, "The third-party that OpenFlights uses for route data ceased providing updates in June 2014. The current data is of historical value only. As of June 2014, the OpenFlights/Airline Route Mapper Route Database contains 67,663 routes between 3,321 airports on 548 airlines spanning the globe. Creating and maintaining this database has required and continues to require an immense amount of work. We need your support to keep this database up-to-date."To donate, visit the site and click the PayPal link.Routes were created using the XY-to-line tool in ArcGIS Pro, inspired by Kenneth Field's work, and following a modified methodology from Michael Markieta (www.spatialanalysis.ca/2011/global-connectivity-mapping-out-flight-routes).Some cleanup was required in the original data, including adding missing location data for several airports and some missing IATA codes. Before performing the point to line conversion, the key to preserving attributes in the original data is a combination of the INDEX and MATCH functions in Microsoft Excel. Example function: =INDEX(Airlines!$B$2:$B$6200,MATCH(Routes!$A2,Airlines!$D$2:Airlines!$D$6200,0))                                                

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Aviation Traffic Management: The model can be applied in advanced aviation traffic control systems to detect, monitor, and manage airplane movements on runways, thereby improving safety and efficiency.

2. Automated Damage Assessment: The model can be used to systematically inspect airplanes for any potential damage or wear and tear. With airplane-detection, it can guide drones or robotic units to positions that need evaluation.

3. Satellite Imagery Analysis: In situations like search-and-rescue missions or monitoring air traffic, the model could assist in identifying airplanes in satellite images promptly and accurately.

4. Autonomous Vehicle Training: The model could be integrated into the training datasets of autonomous vehicles to help them recognize airplanes, particularly in scenarios near airports.

5. Augmented Reality Games or Apps: The model could be used in AR games or apps, where users might need to track airplanes in real-time, contributing to a more immersive and interactive user experience.
