European Cargo airports - new dashboard. (2010-2012)

Turned out to be quite easy to adapt the passenger dashboard to do the same for the freight & mail data from Eurostat (avia_gor_xx). So see the link to the new dashboard above.

Flights: are commercial freight & mail flight departures (FRM_CAF_DEP in Eurostat terms)
Tonnes: are tonnes of freight & mail on board on departure (including direct transit cargo that stayed on the aircraft - FRM_BRD_DEP)

European airport departures - 2013 & 2014 data updated.

A delay in new posts, while I work on extracting a new dataset and turning it into some useful dashboards. Watch this space.

But meanwhile, the good news is that Eurostat have published updated data for 2013 and 2014, sorting out some earlier problems and adding more months. Check out the data in the 'production version' - link is at the top of the page: I've renamed the two dashboards into something more meaningful (I hope):

  • Departure Patterns shows departures from the selected EU28 airport in terms of destinations, load factors, distances, aircraft sizes, pax, flights.
  • Departure Points lets you select any airport (including those outside Europe) and see details of where flights leave EU28 airports to reach that point.
I've also re-size so it fits on the ipad better - but discovered Tableau menus work better in Safari than Chrome on the ipad.
