I had to limit the number of airports displayed for performance reasons. I filtered the airport data so that only those airports with scheduled services and which are denoted "large" or "medium" are included (according to OurAirports), bringing the number down to 2,980.
- handelaar 8y agoSuppose that'll explain why there are at least three airports included in Ireland that have no scheduled services at all: the data's from nearly a decade ago
- isostatic 8y agoI am amused how airports like Lands End (which was grass runways only before 2014), and Chester(!!) made the cut. Plymouth closed in 2011 However that's all nitpicking, this is a pretty cool map, I'd never encountered Voronoi diagrams before.
- jasondavies 8y agoInteresting. The data is from 2014, which is when I created the visualisation. Perhaps I should auto-update it every so often!
- handelaar 8y agoMost recent item on "recent changes" was five years old in 2014. Galway Airport's certainly been shut for a lot longer than that.
- scroot 8y agoSt Helena airport is open and technically operational. It's certainly one of the most remote airports on the planet (this happened post 2015)
- anonytrary 8y agoIt would be nice if there was a slider for N. I like to think my computer is recent, but evidently it is not!
