BTS Releases February 2014 U.S. Airline Traffic Data
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today that U.S. airlines carried 52.4 million systemwide (domestic + international) scheduled service passengers in February 2014, 0.1 percent fewer than in February 2013. The systemwide total was the result of a 0.5 percent decrease in the number of domestic passengers (45.5 million) and a 2.6 percent increase in international passengers (6.9 million) (Tables 1, 7, 13).
BTS reported that U.S. airlines carried 0.3 percent more total systemwide passengers during the first two months of 2014 (108.2 million) than during the same period in 2013 (Table 2). Domestically, U.S. airlines carried 93.4 million passengers, down 0.2 percent from 2013 (Table 8). Internationally, they carried 14.8 million passengers, up 3.5 percent from 2013 (Table 14). See Tables 2, 8 and 14 of Air Traffic Press Releases for previous-year data.
The February 2014 systemwide load factor (79.8 percent) and domestic load factor (82.1) were record highs for the month of February, topping the previous highs recorded in February 2013 while the international load factor (75.0) remained below the February 2013 level. Systemwide and domestic capacity measured by available seat-miles (ASMs) was reduced while revenue passenger-miles (RPMs) grew, resulting in higher load factors. International capacity rose faster than the growth in RPMs, reducing the load factor (Tables 1, 7, 13). Load factor is a measure of the use of aircraft capacity that compares RPMs as a proportion of ASMs.
The passenger total in February 2014 was the lowest since February 2011. RPMs reached the highest level since February 2008 while capacity measured in ASMs remained 10.1 percent below the 2008 peak for the month of February.
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 additional U.S. carrier passenger and freight data since 1996, see Traffic on the BTS website.

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 79 carriers as of May 6 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 February, 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 February and international numbers through November 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 February, U.S. carriers reported 158,032 foreign point-to-point passengers. For January through February, U.S. carriers reported 340,050 foreign point-to-point passengers.
Data are subject to revision. BTS has scheduled June 12 for the release of March traffic data. None of the data are from samples so measures of statistical significance do not apply.
