Could you build this?
Partial The map interface is straightforward, but assembling, maintaining, and performing multi-stop graph traversal across a dataset of 60,000 scheduled flight routes is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires ingesting global airline schedule datasets (e.g., OAG, Cirium, or OpenFlights) and loading them into a graph database or custom memory-mapped network graph. The core engineering challenge lies in implementing efficient shortest-path graph routing algorithms (such as multi-criteria Dijkstra or CSA) that calculate sensible detours and connection times across tens of thousands of directed edges, paired with a WebGL/Mapbox frontend.
