What the April count measured
WHILL’s 21 April update counted 25 airports and other facilities across North America, EMEA and Asia. The inclusion of facilities matters: the number is not a count of 25 airports, nor a count of terminals. It is the company’s network snapshot at that date.
A network grows through individual deployments
The April announcement names Paris–Orly and Ted Stevens Anchorage among the expansion locations. Subsequent announcements describe Heathrow and further Haneda coverage. Combining these notices requires care: an expanded area at an existing airport is not necessarily an additional site.
For readers following the sector, preserve the unit being counted—devices, rides, terminals or sites. Otherwise apparently comparable growth figures can describe different things.
Four figures that should not be mixed
| Measure | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Devices | How much equipment a deployment reports. |
| Rides | Reported use over a stated period. |
| Terminals or operating areas | Where the service is intended to run. |
| Airports and facilities | Locations included in a network count. |
What a passenger actually needs from a network map
A network map can identify a promising service location. It cannot confirm the terminal, eligibility or hours for a particular journey. The next useful record is the local service page or assistance confirmation, attached to an itinerary. A dated network update remains useful background without becoming an availability promise.
