Tableau visualisation of routes by new aircraft types: B787 and A350

The previous post gave a glimpse of the technical, R, side of processing some data compiled by spotters of where the new aircraft, B787 and A350, are flying. The R took a while to get right, but once the data were compiled, getting them into Tableau was a breeze.

There's a beta version here. Beta, mostly in the sense that there are still 1 or 2 glitches in the geo-coding of the data (so in R), but I thought it might be easier to see them given a Tableau map. I like the way the graph on the left acts as a filter for the map - for example comparing the routes of ANA and Japan Airlines.

And beta too, probably because the viz could also be improved. Comments welcome.
