Here's some fascinating data about Orlando International Airport.

Posted by David (aka David) Apr 10 '20, 12:49

Last Monday, the airport scheduled only 573 flights. Due to lack of passengers and COVID-19 concerns, airlines canceled 230 of those.

So, 343 flights went in and out of the airport that day, down 96.6% from one year ago.

2,597 passengers took those flights. That's an average of (less than) eight passengers per flight.

One month ago today, those numbers were wholly unimaginable.

Responses:

I'm pretty sure that drop percentage is in number of passengers. I'm not sure that any airport in the world is capable of the several thousand flights - JD Apr 10, 12:59 4
- Yes, sorry. I wrote that terribly. -- nm - David Apr 10, 13:10 2
  - I found a number of 850 flights as an estimate for last year which still makes the percentages remarkable - JD Apr 10, 13:13 1
    - United fact sheet for their Newark hub says it runs an average of 404 flights to 164 destinations. Now: 15 flights to 9 destinations. -- (link) - ty97 Apr 10, 13:16
- Yeah, that would make sense -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 13:01
Passenger counts, which major airport tend to put out monthly, will be *fascinating* -- nm* - ty97 Apr 10, 12:51 5
- It's ghoulish to say, but I can't wait to study the data. -- nm - David Apr 10, 12:52 3
  - Question #1: Dafuq is out there still needing to fly -- nm* - con_carne Apr 10, 12:55 1
    - Practically no one, thus the empty planes. But medical workers going to work in hotspots are flying, for example. -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 12:57
  - I don't find it ghoulish, it will be interesting. - ty97 Apr 10, 12:54
- London Heathrow is *closing* 2 of its 4 terminals -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 12:52
"Even with coronavirus, the TSA lines are long, packed, and full of rowdy children and parents who do not know how to fold a stroller" - ty97 Apr 10, 12:50
