GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Phoenix metro is expected to be flooded with flights in the days leading up to Super Bowl LVII.

A new dashboard allows you to see how many of those flights have touched down.

FlightAware, a digital aviation company, gave 12News an exclusive first look into this year's Super Bowl dashboard that displays daily information on how many flights are landing in Arizona, and where they're coming from.

Business flights have spiked in the four days leading up to the Super Bowl for the past five years, previous FlightAware data dashboards show. Conversely, commercial and general flights have seen little increases or have actually decreased leading into the Super Bowl.

Only time will tell whether airports around Phoenix see the same trend. Check back here for hourly updates on air traffic spurred by the Big Game.
