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 movements per day at 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 movements.
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 under 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 airports in our United States coverage, 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 measured movements, 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 status board, the American Airlines flight status page, or the Delta Air Lines status overview.
