How we measure
- Movements are flight legs tracked by PlaneTrack (departures plus arrivals) from ADS-B positions; coverage is strongest in North America and Europe, so smaller fields and low-level traffic can be under-counted.
- Operators come from the flight's callsign; legs without an airline callsign (private, general aviation) are grouped.
- Go-arounds and holding patterns are detected automatically from aircraft positions. Holding minutes add up the detected time in each holding pattern attributed to the airport.
- Delays (US airports only) come from FAA SWIM: wheels-off minus scheduled departure, less the airport's median taxi time; on time means within 15 minutes.
- Aircraft on the FAA LADD privacy list are excluded from every figure.
