WorldPop Global Flight Data

[prathyushsambaturu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The WorldPop Global Flight Data provides the monthly prediction of traffic between two airports in the world

Describe the solution you'd like This data can be aggregated at admin0, admin1, admin2, and admin3 levels.

Admin0 aggregation: At admin0, the data will present the traffic between a pair of airports, where one of the airport is in Vietnam and the other outside (i.e., an airport in Vietnam is either origin or destination). This allows us to obtain the inflow and outflow from Vietnam. Further, we also get the flow within Vietnam.

Admin1 aggregation: The same information is now aggregated at province level.

Admin2 aggregation: The same information is now aggregated at district level.

Admin3 aggregation: The same information is now aggregated at commune level. The traffic from one commune to other communes is considered.

Additional context It is to be discussed whether all the aggregations are meaningful for our purpose.
