Jeder Punkt steht für eine Fluggesellschaft in ihrem Heimatland. Farbe = Kontinent (blau = Europa, rot = Nordamerika, gelb = Asien, grün = Afrika, lila = Südamerika, orange = Naher Osten, cyan = Ozeanien). Graue Punkte sind Fluggesellschaften, die ihren Betrieb einstellen.
Einige Statistiken aus dem Datensatz:
– Die durchschnittliche Flugdauer beträgt nur 11 Jahre
– 2008 war das schlimmste Jahr, 88 Fluggesellschaften gingen pleite (eine alle 4 Tage)
– Allein die USA haben über 200 Fluggesellschaften verloren
– Italien hat eine Todesrate bei Fluggesellschaften von 84 %
– KLM (1919) und Avianca (1919) sind die ältesten noch fliegenden Flugzeuge
Ich war schon immer von Fluggesellschaften fasziniert, Ich habe eine komplette interaktive Version erstellt, falls jemand sie ausprobieren möchte.

what’s the oceania country with 3?, Fiji?
Damn, it only took 16 years from the first flight to the first airline. That’s wild
Very surprised to see that Avianca is one of the oldest still operational, for all the gripes me and many other Colombians have with them that IS pretty cool.
This made me think of the lamented, long-dead site „amigoingdown.com“. If you were flying on an iffy airline you could find out – sort of – just how iffy…
Corona virus in the US huh
i feel like if i try hard enough i could see a number on the us circle
What does the dot size mean?
Also, it’s funny how you can still make out Europe’s shape.
China????
Incredible job, but I see one very obscure and incredibly short-lived airline missing: Air Asturias

Why is the group in Brazil almost all dead?
The Asian spread is the only thing I would redo, because it looks weird to my eyes.
so, Mongolia is the only country to have all it’s historical airlines still operative? cool
What does the size of the dots mean?
Really cool work.
I feel like mergers and acquisitions are a bit of a grey area. I guess you can consider an airline “dead” if its name is no longer being used, but in many scenarios post-merger you have the same crews operating the same planes out of the same hubs but with a different paint job on the plane. That feels a little different than an airline that goes completely defunct.
Missing PLUNA, the former flag carrier of Uruguay. Active between 1936 amd 2012

Where did you put the dots for Taiwan?
Why is Turkey South America
You write that purple = South America, but there are slightly lighter purple dots over the Caucasus and Turkey. What is the designation you’re giving that region and why was it broken out?
