FAA documents show what "up to 1,000 flights a day" actually means
FAA environmental documents for Prime Air sites describe the MK30 as an electric aircraft with an 83.2 lb maximum takeoff weight and a 7.5-mile operating range. Several proposed or approved sites use a ceiling of up to 1,000 delivery flights per operating day.

The number is a planning ceiling, not evidence that every hub currently flies 1,000 missions daily. That distinction matters when discussing noise, capacity and fleet utilization.
Compare authorized maximums, actual flights and demand-driven utilization separately when evaluating delivery networks.
