The Sky Never Sleeps: 100,000 Flights Circle the Globe Each Day

Between 15,000 and 20,000 aircraft are soaring across the skies worldwide from commercial passenger jets to cargo planes and private flights.

 On a daily basis, global air traffic sees nearly 100,000 takeoffs and landings, with only a slight dip between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., and flights still rarely drop below 99,000
