Yeah, they state that is about 30% short of all aircraft as only aircraft with a certain tracking unit fitted is shown (the details are on their site). Also clearly some military / combat type craft would be invisible too, although they reckon you can see some of them too.

Like John C I was rather interested where all the flights were.  Certainly Western EU and the USA were amazingly busy.

That airplane list may not be complete. 

The displayed info is only pulled from a few of the larger airport tracking sites. Standards and technology may not be the same on all continents hence it may not be on the list for those reasons as well.

PS Just noticed, looking at it again, that most flights, in the world are delayed. Which confirms my theory.

Zoom way out and look at the big picture.  Africa, Asia and South America almost empty.  Speaks volumes about where the money is, and inversely where the poverty is.
