Michael Markieta, a transportation planner at global engineering and design firm Arup, has created a series of beautiful visualizations of aircraft flight paths as they span the globe.

Markieta has marked more than 58,000 flightpaths and the results are stunning. Click through for images (via BBC.co.uk)
