Flight Fuel Consumption Table
Last update: Jan 9, 2021

INTRO. A few years ago, I was looking at GHG emissions estimations for Canada and noticed that reports have a 2-year lag. I did not understand why it would take so long to get these estimations given the current technologies. This side project is an effort to estimate GHG emissions on a daily basis for the air transport industry.

In this data table, we show fuel consumption and carbon emissions from flights that arrived to any medium-size airport in Canada in the past day. Data is updated in a daily basis.

DATA. Flight data is from OpenSky Network. We define medium-size airports as the top 30 biggest airports according to WorldData. Airports' coordinates are taken from OurAirports, and we use great-circle distance method to calculate distance between airports.

Fuel and carbon calculations are from Flight Fuel Consumption API based on ICAO's Carbon Emissions Calculator Methodology of 2018. Grid is built using ag-Grid and globe is made with D3 with code from Mike Bostock.

THANKS AND FEEDBACK. Thanks to OpenSky Network, ag-Grid, Panteha M, Dario S, Luis I, Tomas D, Sebastien P and Anna N for their support. Feel free to email me if you would like to know more.

Thank you for reading,
