Transport & mobility

World · Air traffic & freight

Number of air passengers and freight volume; a barometer of long-distance mobility and trade.· Every series comes from ONE dataset: the countries Citoyen covers and the world total are read together, from the same source and the same release. « Rest of the world » is the world total minus the 19 countries covered (the European Union is left out, it contains France, Germany and Italy and would be counted twice). The six largest countries on the indicator are drawn on their own, the other covered countries are grouped. A year is drawn only when every country and the world are published: a missing country would otherwise land in « rest of the world » as a fake jump.· Domestic and international passengers carried by air carriers registered in the country (ICAO, published by the World Bank, IS.AIR.PSGR). A passenger is counted by the airline’s country, not by the airport. 2020-2021: the Covid-19 fall.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: World Bank, World Development Indicators· Published Nov 11, 2026
