  • There is certainly no way we could get everybody flying at once. Boeing ran an ad a year or two ago saying that a million people fly every day. Of course, may of these are short flights, so each plane carries half a dozen people in a day. To calculate another way, the world airliner fleet was reported to be about 25,000 in 2005 - including parked aircraft. If we grab a guess of an average of 80 seata per aircraft, that gives a figure of 2 million people airborne at the same time. Tiny compared to the 6.5 billion people in the world. So only about 1 in 3000 of us cn be up in the air at any time.
