Aviation history! Busiest air traffic day ever! Check captivating clip of planes in the sky
The air traffic tracker couldn't determine if 29 June was the busiest flight day in aviation history, but it did compute that June 29 was the day when the company recorded highest flights on a single day since it began operations in 2006.
Enough of road traffic! Let's talk about air traffic. Yes, as in aviation. As vacation season reaches its fag end and people are returning back home, air traffic spiked causing it to log one of its busiest days ever. History has been created, if data from the Flightradar24, a flight monitoring website is anything to go by. The data magically shows over 202,000 flights around the globe flying simultaneously in the sky last week on Friday 29 June.
Flightradar24 uploaded a spectacular map in the GIF format that shows an impossible number of planes moving above the globe.
"Yesterday was the busiest day of the year in the skies so far and our busiest day ever. 202,157 flights tracked! The first time we've tracked more than 200,000 flights in a single day on https://www.flightradar24.com," said Flightradar24 in a tweet on Friday.

Any guesses for the day FlightRadar24 records lowest number of flights? This happens usually on 25 December, one of the quietest days of the year for air traffic.
Flightradar24 describes itself this way: The world's most popular flight tracking service, turning your phone, tablet, or computer into a virtual air traffic radar showing detailed aircraft and flight info for flights worldwide.
