INTRO

On February 27 2022, the Government of Canada announced that it would immediately close its airspace to all Russian aircrafts until further notice. I was curious about where the aircrafts on Canadian airspace are registered, and did this visualization.

DATA

All airplanes seen by the OpenSky Network with flight state information derived from ADS-B and Mode S messages. Country information is parsed from registrations pulled OpenSky Network's aircraft database, else from OpenSky Network API's origin_country field. Operator information is pulled from OpenSky Network's aircraft database.
