A WASTE OF SPACE (AND MONEY)

There is a surpriging thing about airports that most people don't know about. Do you wonder how many seats remain empty every year in Boeings 747? Actually a lot of them. Although there are a huge number of flights around the world every day (and for information about that, you can visit this page), the people that lacks in these flights (237 millions of people) would by itself keep busy the Chicago O'Hare International Airport for such a long time as 217 days.

The thing about this is the waste of money that such a number of empty seats brings about. Specially taking into acount that a plane is not like a bus, the cost of taking off a Boeing 747 (even though the prize of fuel for this model has decreased) is elevated. The matter is just to make a reflection about unnecessary costs, unnecessary costs that maybe at the end would be paid by us.

  2. Perfect and clear graphic, I like it a lot!
    It is really embarassing that bad organization of flights, it is not only a waste of space or money but also an increase of pollution..

  3. Well done! I like this graphic because it's very simple but also attractive. It hasn't non-data-ink, all you have is relevant. As Yolanda said, it's a perfect and very clear graphic.

  6. I agree with the others: you made a very good and clear infographic. Your design (the usage of only black and white) reminds me a bit of prisoners being photographed at police stations. Amazing how such an easy looking graphic can express so much.
