KEY: N = data do not exist; R = revised.

^a Country where passenger deboarded a direct flight from the United States.

^b Canadian figure represents number of revenue passengers on scheduled commercial and charter flights. Does not include foreign (non-Canadian, non-U.S.) scheduled carriers.

NOTES: Includes passengers on international commercial flights departing U.S. airports, and travelers between U.S. ports in the 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, or the Virgin Islands, and other U.S. territories. Data compiled from flight reports required by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. Table includes a selected sample of countries of debarkation for passengers boarding in the United States. Because two different data sources are used, the total number of departing passengers may be less than the total for "country of debarkation" listed here.
