Methodology

London includes Luton, Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Stansted, Northolt, City, Heathrow and Gatwick. A leg is included when either endpoint is at one of those airports. The same flight appearing in more than one operator feed is counted once using its origin, destination, departure time, aircraft registration and model. Listings that are deleted, cancelled or internal only are excluded. Counts describe marketplace listings, not flights confirmed as flown. Each regional edition uses its own snapshot date, so a shared route can differ from another edition.
