BTS Releases November 2013 U.S. Airline Traffic Data;
Systemwide Passengers Down 2.2 Percent from November 2012
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) recently reported that U.S. airlines carried 57.5 million systemwide (domestic + international) scheduled service passengers in November 2013, 2.2 percent fewer than in November 2012. The systemwide total was the result of a 2.7 percent decrease in the number of domestic passengers (50.4 million) and a 2.2 percent increase in international passengers (7.0 million) (Tables 1, 7, 13).
BTS reported that U.S. airlines carried 0.4 percent more total systemwide passengers during the first 11 months of 2013 (680.3 million) than during the same period in 2012 (Table 2). Domestically, U.S. airlines carried 590.9 million passengers, virtually unchanged from 2012 (Table 8). Internationally, they carried 89.3 million passengers, up 3.0 percent from 2012 (Table 14). See Tables 2, 8 and 14 of Air Traffic Press Releases for previous-year data.
Systemwide, domestic and international load factors declined in November 2013 from a year earlier. Systemwide and domestic Revenue Passenger-Miles (RPMs) declined while capacity, measured by Available Seat-Miles (ASMs), rose. Growth in international capacity exceeded RPM growth (Tables 1, 7, 13). Load factor is a measure of the use of aircraft capacity that compares RPMs as a proportion of ASMs.
Additional traffic data can be found on the BTS Airlines and Airports page. Click on a link in the Quick Links box on the right. For more historical data, see Traffic on the BTS website.
Top Airlines
Monthly: In November, Southwest Airlines carried more systemwide and domestic passengers than any other U.S. airline (Tables 4, 10). United Airlines carried the most international passengers (Table 16). The top 10 U.S. airlines in terms of number of passengers carried 80.7 percent of systemwide passengers, up from 80.2 percent carried by the U.S. airlines that were in the top 10 in November 2012.
Year-to-date: During the first 11 months of 2013, Delta carried more systemwide passengers than any other U.S. airline (Table 3). Southwest carried the most domestic passengers (Table 9) while United carried the most international passengers (Table 15). The top 10 U.S. airlines carried 80.5 percent of systemwide passengers, up from 80.0 percent carried by the U.S. airlines that were in the top 10 during the first 11 months of 2012.
Top Airports
Monthly: In November, more total systemwide and domestic passengers boarded planes at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International than at any other U.S. airport (Tables 6, 12); and more international passengers boarded U.S. carriers at Miami than at any other U.S. airport (Table 18).
Year-to-date: During the first 11 months of 2013, more total systemwide and domestic passengers boarded planes at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson than at any other U.S. airport (Tables 5 and 11); and more international passengers boarded U.S. carriers at Miami than at any other U.S. airport (Table 17).
Reporting Notes
Data are compiled from monthly reports filed with BTS by commercial U.S. air carriers detailing operations, passenger traffic and freight traffic. This release includes data received by BTS from 71 carriers as of Feb. 4 for U.S. carrier scheduled civilian operations.
Southwest and AirTran Airways are reporting as separate carriers with the exception of their financial reports. They have one FAA SOC (single operating certificate), requiring that they utilize the same safety/operating procedures, but they have separate DOT 401 economic certificates, meaning they remain operating as separate economic entities.
Go to http://www.transtats.bts.gov/releaseinfo.asp for the complete list of reporting and non-reporting carriers. U.S. carriers' foreign point-to-point flights are included in system and international totals. To create a customized table for passengers, flights, RPMs, ASMs and other data, including non-scheduled service, go to http://apps.bts.gov/xml/air_traffic/src/index.xml#CustomizeTable
For additional scheduled service numbers for U.S. airlines, U.S. and foreign airlines, by airline and by airport, see Passengers, Flights, Revenue Passenger-Miles, Available Seat-Miles and Load Factor.
Traffic numbers are available on the BTS website at TranStats, the Intermodal Transportation Database, at http://transtats.bts.gov. Click on "Aviation." For systemwide passengers, RPMs and ASMs by carrier through November, click on "Air Carrier Summary Data (Form 41 and 298C Summary Data)," and then click on "Schedule T-1." Use crosstabs to find scheduled service.
For domestic numbers through November and international numbers through August by origin as well as by carrier, click on "Aviation," then click on "Air Carrier Statistics (Form 41 Traffic)." Click on "T-100 Market" for system passenger numbers, "T-100 Domestic Market" for domestic or "T-100 International Market" for international. For flights, stage length and trip length, use the appropriate T-100 Segment database. Use crosstabs to find scheduled service.
International totals in this press release consist of all U.S. carrier operations to and from the U.S. and from one foreign point to another foreign point. TranStats T-100 systemwide and international totals do not include U.S. carriers' foreign point-to-point flights. For November, U.S. carriers reported 174,676 foreign point-to-point passengers. For January through November, U.S. carriers reported 2,117,171 foreign point-to-point passengers.
Data are subject to revision. BTS has scheduled March 13 for the release of December traffic data. None of the data are from samples so measures of statistical significance do not apply.
