Whether you are flying from Europe or hopping across the British Isles, pack some extra hold fuel and join us for an arrival stream as we dodge the hot air balloons, catch Banksy in the act, and pick up some vintage clothing in an all vegan shop. Gurt lush!

A flight participates when a detected departure or arrival is recorded at one of the event airports inside the inclusive event window shown above. Detected movements use stable takeoff and landing transitions and are assigned only to a nearby airport. Headline departure and arrival figures count movements, while flights and pilots are counted uniquely. A flight that departs near the end of the window and lands afterwards counts as a departure only, because its arrival happened outside the window.
