Lufthansa Group Flight Map

Interactive visualization of flight routes for all Lufthansa Group airlines

Technologies Used: JavaScript (Leaflet JS), GeoJSON, HTML/CSS

Overview

An interactive flight route map visualizing the network of all Lufthansa Group airlines, including Lufthansa, Swiss International Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, ITA Airways, and Discover Airlines. The map displays routes from major hubs with color-coded airline distinction and interactive filtering capabilities.

Key Features
  • Interactive Route Display - Click any airport to view all routes originating from that location
  • Airline Color Coding - Each airline has a distinct color for easy identification:
    • Lufthansa: Yellow (#FFC72C)
    • Swiss International Airlines: Red (#D40000)
    • Austrian Airlines: Red (#FF0000)
    • Brussels Airlines: Blue (#003399)
    • Eurowings: Red (#CC0000)
    • ITA Airways: Green (#008C45)
    • Discover Airlines: Magenta (#ec03fc)
  • Dynamic Filtering - Click on an airport marker to highlight routes from that hub
  • Reset Functionality - Easy return to full route view
  • Hub Identification - Major hubs clearly marked with scaled markers based on route count
Technical Implementation

The map is built using Leaflet JS for mapping and uses GeoJSON data for route visualization. Route data includes:

  • Origin and destination airport codes
  • Airline operator information
  • Geographic coordinates for all airports
  • Route frequency and hub status

Routes are rendered as geodesic curves connecting airports, providing an accurate representation of flight paths. The interactive functionality allows users to explore the extensive Lufthansa Group network spanning Europe and beyond.

Data Processing

Airport and route data was compiled from flight schedule information and processed to create a comprehensive network visualization. Major hubs are automatically identified based on the number of routes originating from each location.

Use Cases
  • Understanding the Lufthansa Group route network
  • Identifying key airline hubs
  • Comparing route coverage between group airlines
  • Planning travel connections within the network
  • Analyzing airline market presence by region
