Can Rail Reduce British Aviation Emissions: Airport-to-Airport Origin-Destination Data, 1990-2021

The data collection contains airport-airport origin-destination data for UK domestic and international flights between 1990 and 2021. The data includes estimates of the number of flights, passengers, and emissions in the form of tables and GIS-compatible formats. The data was derived from airport statistics and can be used to understand temporal-spatial trends in aviation demand and emissions.

Data contains three files:
airports - a shape file with the point locations of the airport used in the analysis
OD_lines - a shape file with the origin-destination lines between airports (great circle distance)
OD_attributes - a CSV file with columns for passengers, flights, and emissions for each year between 1990 and 2021. The attributes can be joined to the shape file via a shared id value.
