FlightAware Airport Flight Count Statistics

Use this endpoint when you need aggregated flight count statistics for multiple airports within a geographic region defined by a bounding box. Ideal for analyzing regional air traffic density, comparing airport busyness across an area, or building heatmaps of aviation activity. Prefer over single-airport detail endpoints when the goal is aggregate counts rather than individual flight records.
