Wednesday, 24th July, 2019 may have been one of the busiest days in aviation history.

Flight tracking app Flightradar24 said it registered over 225,000 aircraft in the skies on that day the most it had ever recorded in a single day.

The figure is made up of every flight the app managed to trace and includes commercial flights, cargo planes, helicopters, gliders and private jets.


To illustrate just how busy the skies were on Wednesday, Flightradar24 released a snapshot of its world map graphic from that day, which was swarming with plane icons.

The majority of the flights were clustered over the United States, Europe and South East Asia.

But not everyone was impressed by the stat, with some voicing concerns for the environment.

Worth celebrating! If innovation were left in the hands of Africans, we'll still be in the bush chasing wild animals while we travel on donkeys and camels

low self esteem.

Good for those in aviation business

Subhanallah! Did anyone noticed there's just one single dot in Libyan territory. (ie if you know Libyan map and location). This is to reveal to you that no single international flight is crossing over Libyan airspace. That's a sign of a failed state. A country with multiple warlords.

Truly shows the Sky is big enough for everyone. Go your path and let others go theirs!
