Planes overhead, district by district
How many planes pass over 458 postcode districts, on a day each airport flies west, east or both ways, measured from flight tracking, January to August 2026. Districts where no postcode sees 10 a day are left out.
For Heathrow's expansion consultation: the planes from Heathrow, council by council
Each council lists the districts where it holds a tenth or more of the postcodes, so a district on a boundary is under each of its councils.
