Summary

Description
English: Map of global passenger air routes. This image is generally correct, but not specifically correct. Flights take various routes, and the traffic density portrayed is based on the number of airlines on a particular route, not the number of actual flights. Data from Google Maps, Airlineroutemaps.com, and individual airline websites.


UPDATE Mar 15, 2013: Background map (not visible in final image) was taken from Google Maps, which uses a variant of Mercator projection. The image was made using Illustrator.

Français : Carte mondiale des itinéraires des passagers transportés par les transports aériens. Cette est correcte pour les points de départ et d'arrivée, mais ne montre pas les itinéraires différents. La densité du trafic est dépeinte sur la base du nombre de compagnies aériennes affectées à un itinéraire particulier, et non pas sur le nombre de vols réels. (données provenant de Google Maps, Airlineroutemaps.com et sites de compagnies aériennes individuelles)
