This Map Shows The Dramatic Decline in Air Traffic Due To COVID-19

We’ve all heard about flight cancelations and travel restrictions due to COVID-19. These maps help visualize the effect of these cancelations and restrictions by taking a look at flights over various areas in the world this week compared to a month ago.

These maps show commercial airline traffic and some, but not all, private jet charters.

Methodology

Unless otherwise stated commercial airline flights were captured at 0900 local time. 0900 was taken as the benchmark as that is often the busiest time for air traffic. The effect is most obvious at these times when airports and the skies would normally be busiest.
