The dataset in use was the nycflights13 dataset, which contains detailed information about all flights that departed from New York City in 2013. Specifically, it includes flights leaving from the three major NYC airports: JFK, LGA, and EWR.It includes information such as the date of each flight, scheduled and actual departure and arrival times, airline carrier codes, flight numbers, plane tail numbers, origin and destination airports, airtime, distance traveled, and scheduled departure times broken down by hour and minute.

A linear relationship is demonstrated between variables of Distance and Air Time, with increases in distances corresponding to increases in Air Time. This relationship is mirrored in the three origin points of the EWR, JFK, and LGA airports.

Total flights between the three airports is well distributed, with the Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) possessing the most flights over the course of 2013 (117127 flights). Average delay is also displayed on the pie chart.

The most flights are taken during the summer months of August and July, with a monthly average of 28064.67 flights per month.

As demonstrated within the graph, there is a quasi-linear relationship between departure time and arrival time. Analysis of the color bar further reveals that increases in distance results in a longer travel time, which is to be expected because longer flights take longer to complete.

Departure delays are categorized by flight carrier. The mean departure delay is marked with the dashed red line, and the median departure delay in blue. As seen, the much larger mean value indicates that there likely exists a number of large outliers in the positive departure delay direction that is skewing the data.
