今日の英語の習慣化の題材は、軽い記事でFlightradar24と言う、Real Timeで全世界のFlight状況をMonitorしているサイトの記事です。(アプリもあります)

July 24(Wednesday)は、全世界で22万5000機以上の航空機が空に上がり、飛行していたと言うものです。

 

Wednesday was the busiest day since Flightradar24, a site that monitors real-time air traffic, started tracking flights. On July 24, more than 225,000 flights took to the skies, according to a tweet from Flightradar24.

An image captured at 14:25 UTC on Wednesday (aka 10:25 a.m. ET) offers a glimpse of the incredibly crowded European airspace, with cargo planes and helicopters, sightseeing planes and people jetting off to vacation or work or headed home to their couches. The landmark travel day breaks the record set just a few days earlier, when Flightradar24 reported that June 29 was the busiest flight day since the company began watching in 2006. That day boasted 202,157 aircraft, a number that shrinks in comparison to Wednesday’s 225,000 flights.
