About Dataset
1) Data Introduction
• The European Flights Dataset is a tabulated dataset of more than 680,000 air traffic records, including instrument flight (IFR) arrivals and operations at major European airports from January 2016 to May 2022.
2) Data Utilization
(1) European Flights Dataset has characteristics that:
• Each row contains 14 key items, including year, month, flight date, airport code and name, country name, and number of departures, arrivals, and total flights based on IFR.
• The data are segmented by airport, country, and month, so they are well structured to analyze time series and spatial changes in European air traffic.
(2) European Flights Dataset can be used to:
• Analysis of Air Traffic Trends and Recovery: Using IFR operational performance by year, month, and airport, you can analyze changes in air traffic before and after the pandemic, seasonal trends, and speed of recovery.
• Airport and Country Comparison Study: National/Airport performance data can be used to compare and evaluate major hub airports, cross-country aviation network structure, policy effectiveness, and more.
