Abstract: This paper presents the results of a statistical analysis carried out with the 2002 global aircraft traffic data and trajectories available in the GAES-Move database. It includes both a temporal and spatial analysis of the database, along with a comparison of its contents with miscellaneous sources of traffic data for 2002.
