What our own 30-day measurement shows at STL

Flightstatus24 runs its own reception measurement, and over the most recent 30-day period it recorded an average of 15.7 aircraft observations per day near St. Louis Lambert. That average and the peak window below belong together: the 15.7 describes the typical day across the whole month, while the peak shows the two hours in which the measurement counted the most observations.

The busiest window in that same 30-day measurement was 00:00 to 02:00. Note that our measurement clock runs in UTC, so this window is expressed in UTC rather than in local St. Louis time; convert it to your own time zone before planning around peak activity. The radar and the measurement answer different questions: the radar tells you what is in the air around Lambert right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it break that down flight by flight, while the measurement tells you how the airport behaves over a month. STL is one of the many United States airports we cover, and the airport overview is the starting point for the rest of the country.

The airlines we record most often

Three carriers stand out in the STL numbers. Southwest Airlines topped our 30-day count with 174 observations, American Airlines followed at 150, and Delta Air Lines appeared 58 times in the same period. Southwest and American together make St. Louis largely a two-carrier picture in our data, with Delta a clear third.

If you are following one specific flight rather than the airport as a whole, go straight to the carrier: the Southwest Airlines flight status page, the American Airlines flight status page, or the Delta Air Lines status overview.

Nearby airports as alternatives

When St. Louis Lambert does not fit your plans, the two closest alternatives in our set are Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, 136 km from STL, and Quincy Regional Airport Baldwin Field, at 151 km. Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport is the nearer of the two, which makes it the natural first alternative to check when plans around Lambert change; both are a considerable distance from STL, so neither is a quick substitute for a flight that was supposed to use Lambert.
