Video: Map road maps over the North Atlantic Ocean

The waters between Europe and North America are relatively calm despite any day, but above 9km altitude, more than 2,500 planes follow each other like invisible highways, moving between the two Mainland and land in gateway cities like London and New York or fly further.

Of course, not all aircrafts carry commercial passengers, but among them there are flights of transporting goods, military weapons, soldiers and private flights that also make considerable traffic. No matter the purpose and location, it is spectacular when we can see these flights visually.

NATS, the UK National Air Transport Service, created a video to help us envision more than 1400 flights this agency handles every day. This video has been posted on Vimeo and attracted a lot of user interest.
