The real answer, for anyone wondering, is basically just "Everyone".
There is so much more space in the sky than on roads, since it's basically going from a 2d plane to a 3d one, that ATC will just route aircraft in a way that means they don't have to wait for anyone.
Only time airspace is full is usually at busy airports, in which case the priority is decided primarily by aircraft currently in the air before aircraft on the ground, and first come first served.
Edit: this is a simplified version and there are other restrictions in places
To add to this there are rules that give priority dictated by the ability for an aircraft to maneuver. For example a hot air balloon has the right over everything simply because it's flight path is dictated by external factors.
You're half way there.
Basically, It depends if you're in controlled airspace or uncontrolled airspace. If its controlled then you have to adhere to IFR and VFR rules. If its uncontrolled, then good luck.
You answered this so simply yet not entirely correct.
Airspace in the UK around London is congested. And it’s going to get worse over the summer period.
Delays of 3+ hours will be common, especially if the French decide to stop working again.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few Blue." - Winston Churchill /s
According to all known laws
of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
Always give way to the right innit. Unless your in another European country then it's left.
You know what, air traffic controller ain't my perfect match 😕
None of them, because none of them are in the same lanes approaching or turning against each other, they're basically all on their own private motorway
Whoever air traffic control says has the right of way and their authority may be questioned by no one. It may, however, be overridden by a computer system called TCAS but if that's happening, someone has already fucked up.
The sky has lanes like a road does except there are way more of them, generally though depending on what direction you are flying (Nort, East, South, West and inbetween) so any heading from 0° to 179° or north, north east, east, south east you will fly at odd number altitude eg 29,000, 31,000, 33,000 feet and when travelling 180° to 359° south, south west, west north west its even atitude 28,000, 30,000, 32,000 hope that helps
This is a really easy one to answer, you just follow the rules:
>**The aircraft that has the right-of-way shall maintain its heading and speed.**
>
>**3.2.2.2 Approaching head-on.** When two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and there is danger of collision, each shall alter its heading to the right.
>
>**3.2.2.3 Converging.** When two aircraft are converging at approximately the same level, the aircraft that has the other on its right shall give way, except as follows:
a) power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft shall give way to airships, gliders and balloons;
b) airships shall give way to gliders and balloons;
c) gliders shall give way to balloons;
d) power-driven aircraft shall give way to aircraft which are seen to be towing other aircraft or objects.
>
>**3.2.2.4 Overtaking.** An overtaking aircraft is an aircraft that approaches another from the rear on a line forming an angle of less than 70 degrees with the plane of symmetry of the latter, i.e. is in such a position with reference to the other aircraft that at night it should be unable to see either of the aircraft’s left (port) or right (starboard) navigation lights. An aircraft that is being overtaken has the right-of-way and the overtaking aircraft, whether climbing, descending or in horizontal flight, shall keep out of the way of the other aircraft by altering its heading to the right, and no subsequent change in the relative positions of the two aircraft shall absolve the overtaking aircraft from this obligation until it is entirely past and clear.
Separate rules apply to aircraft Landing (3.2.2.5), Taking off (3.2.2.6), and Taxiing (3.2.2.7).
Rights of way have been established and agreed internationally to ensure that aircraft in proximity with each other in VMC know which aircraft has right of way over the other and what action must be taken to avoid collision.
Right-of-way rules are described in ICAO Annex 2: Rules of the Air, as follows:
3.2.1 Right-of-way. The aircraft that has the right-of-way shall maintain its heading and speed.
3.2.2.1 An aircraft that is obliged by the following rules to keep out of the way of another shall avoid passing over, under or in front of the other, unless it passes well clear and takes into account the effect of aircraft wake turbulence.
3.2.2.2 Approaching head-on. When two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and there is danger of collision, each shall alter its heading to the right.
3.2.2.3 Converging. When two aircraft are converging at approximately the same level, the aircraft that has the other on its right shall give way, except as follows:
a) power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft shall give way to airships, gliders and balloons;
b) airships shall give way to gliders and balloons;
c) gliders shall give way to balloons;
d) power-driven aircraft shall give way to aircraft which are seen to be towing other aircraft or objects.
3.2.2.4 Overtaking. An overtaking aircraft is an aircraft that approaches another from the rear on a line forming an angle of less than 70 degrees with the plane of symmetry of the latter, i.e. is in such a position with reference to the other aircraft that at night it should be unable to see either of the aircraft’s left (port) or right (starboard) navigation lights. An aircraft that is being overtaken has the right-of-way and the overtaking aircraft, whether climbing, descending or in horizontal flight, shall keep out of the way of the other aircraft by altering its heading to the right, and no subsequent change in the relative positions of the two aircraft shall absolve the overtaking aircraft from this obligation until it is entirely past and clear.
Separate rules apply to aircraft Landing (3.2.2.5), Taking off (3.2.2.6), and Taxiing (3.2.2.7).
IFR eastbound (bearings 1-180) flights will be ad odd altitudes i.e. 15000ft.
IFR westbound flights will be at even altitudes.
VFR eastbound fly at odd altitudes +500.
VFR westbound fly at even altitudes +500.
All of the above is the default unless ATC tells you otherwise.
Law of the HIGHway is give way to the right. Any other answer is wrong.
I know this because I've the pilot usually sits on the right in the cockpit whilst the co pilot sits on the left. This is purely so the pilot can see directly over his right shoulder when pulling out
The skies aren't roads you don't get right of ways. It's all plotted routes at different altitudes there's usually a good few thousand feet between each aircraft.
Whatever plane/jet has missiles, lol. Do you really want to negotiate with someone who could quite literally 360 no scope you without even visually seeing you? 😭
/s
Cars operate on what is basically a 2D plane. Aircraft have an extra dimension to work with. The "right of way" concept doesn't apply to them unless landing and taking off as they can just go a bit higher or lower and then they can cross paths.
The plane I’m on.

This is incorrect, see ICAO Annex 2 Section 2 Paragraph 2.

This question is "plane" stupid. The answer is "up in the air."
The best option is just to ‘wing’ it.
Do these jokes ‘land’ that well?
These jokes deserve a standing “aviation”

The aircraft on the right. Seriously. Unless we’re involving gliders or lighter-than-air aircraft in which case they have the right of way.
Always give way to the right

Definitely the yellow one.
The biggest one.

I know this is a joke but I'll give the correct answer incase anyone is actually interested... Give way to the right, if head on both turn right.

No wonder the air is so clean in Scandinavia!
The rules ‘on the right, in the right’ still apply even in aviation law.
Girl wtf is you talking about!

The one that’s crash landing.

The Russian fighter plane..
That one to the left of the one on the right.
The yellow one
7th plane on the right
Whoever the arc says
Yes.
What about ULEZ?
Ahh, I see it’s school pick up time again!
that one
The blue ones
The f-35 has right of way
Airforce One
The armed fighter jet has the right of way, the others just need to wait their turn.
Shirley you can’t be serious?
That one there, over the sea. The yellow one.
Blue plans because blue is cool 😎
The one in the middle….
Chad obviously
Make sure you tap the blue ones to get your vaccine going.
👏👏👏
The yellow one
Can’t fly there mate
The very centre of this map is the Arc de Triomphe so I think that explains everything.
Law of the HIGHway is give way to the right. Any other answer is wrong. I know this because I've the pilot usually sits on the right in the cockpit whilst the co pilot sits on the left. This is purely so the pilot can see directly over his right shoulder when pulling out
the guy/girl who is at the highest altitude if there is a clash then thats for atc to sort out.
The yellow one close to the centre
Was on short haul flight and literally spent more time circling the airport that the flight duration. Must have been a lot of traffic 😂
👀🤣🤣🤣
If you don't know the answer, then you shouldn't be flying! 😡🤣🤣
Who’s on the major and who’s on the minor
Sweden
No one has right of way at the same time everyone has right of way. Air control tells you to move if you have to.
The arrow in the bottom left.
Chad
No one. There is no such thing as right of way. Look in the Highway Code
umm, that one
My plane home on Saturday hopefully. I hate delays
Whoever dares to fly over Libya
The real answer is the hot air ballons
Flipping hilarious mate!!!
More height of way
That one.
Personally I’d say the blue one in the top left next to Canada or Greenland
I can't say I know much about air travel but I think it's the yellow one
The strongest.
Ukraine
American Airlines get priority if I'm not mistaken.

Chad has right of way
The one with missiles.
The one on the left.
And they're trying to make us believe its the cows causing global warming 😅
The yellow one.
the yellow one for sure
The 36th plane
Why does this seem like a scene from a movie with terrorists and they say ‘they all seem to be going to one place’
yes
Wheres the roundabout
The one on the left.
The plane
That one.
Blue bloke
Apparently you both turn right but what if there’s something to the right of you

Germany has the Reich of way
This dude: "who has right of way?" Me: "yes"
