Welcome to the Atlas of the sky.
The Atlas of the Sky is a tool provided by the European Commission for viewing maps with data related to European air transport. It allows the interactive display of maps with satellite overlays. Its user-friendly interface provides up-to date information on air transport for European countries and for the whole world. The information is structured by themes.
The Atlas of the Sky has been developed by the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (MOVE) of the European Commission.
