There are a number of factors that influence the frequency of flights:
- Firstly, the number and frequency of flights will vary on a daily, weekly and yearly basis due to differences in airline schedules. The airlines schedule flights in response to consumer demand. This is particularly the case around holiday periods.
- Secondly, the runway in use at any given time will also vary, largely due to the wind conditions. Each runway has its own set of flight paths, and each flight path will affect different areas. As the runway in use changes, the flight paths change, and so too do the areas affected.
This chart displays the average number of flights per hour over the entire months. Mousing over the chart shows more details, with historical months available via the dropdown. As mentioned in the previous section, data is refresh in the middle of every month.
