Every night, an invisible river of air forms over the North Atlantic: dozens of airliners travel in a dense stream eastward, but during the day the landscape reverses—and this is no coincidence. Behind this circadian rhythm lies a remarkable fusion of powerful jet streams, airport slot economics, and human physiology. We explain why pilots cross the ocean the way they do and how the planet's most orderly air route is structured.
