About This Archive

These tools take you from the end of aviation's Golden Age - the final years of Pan Am, Eastern and TWA - through the beginning of post-9/11 consolidation, the birth of superhubs and the regional jet takeover. See the coverage table below for more details on what's included.

This data was compiled by digitizing airline timetables - physical booklets listing every scheduled flight - along with data from the Official Airline Guide (OAG) originally digitized on DepartedFlights.com. Visit Departed Flights to view supplemental route maps, additional timetables, aircraft photos, and original data.
