The AIU calculated the daily country pair flows of flights for 2020 and fed them to the excellent flowmap.blue so that questiones like the ones below (and many others you may have in mind) can be visualised on a map.
In the following map (or see the sections below for some examples and relevant links) play with
Answer: Britons and Germans seems to have all flown to Spain to spend their holidays! (Or maybe Spaniards went en-mass to UK and Germany…!)
Answer: Britons and Germans flew en-mass to Spain (~10k flights from/to each country); while France, Italy, Greece and Turkey took only approximately half of that (~5K flights each.)
Answer: extremely low, just few flights coming in / flying out of Europe. Look for example at the very thin flow from USA…
The pairs/counts have been derived from the country location of the ICAO indicator associated with the aerodrome of departure (ADEP) and destination (ADES).
There is a very low percentage of airport pairs where one or both of ADEP/ADES are unknown. These are usually associated with IFR helicopter flights (i.e. connections to oil platforms from/to Norway) or air filled (AFIL) flight plans.
Unknown ADEP/ADES have been arbitrarily mapped to the Null Island and not filtered out in order to keep the flow counts consistent.
