Thursday, February 15, 2007 - U.S. airlines carried 683.8 million scheduled domestic and international passengers on their systems during the first 11 months of 2006, 0.7 percent more than they did during the same period in 2005, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) today reported in a release of preliminary data (Table 1).
BTS, a part of DOT's Research and Innovative Technology Administration, reported that U.S. airlines carried about the same number of domestic passengers and 5.9 percent more international passengers during the 11-month period in 2006 than during the same period in 2005 (Tables 7, 13).
In November, the most recent month, U.S. airlines carried 60.2 million scheduled domestic and international passengers, 2.6 percent more than in November 2005 (Table 2). The number of domestic passengers increased 1.9 percent in November from a year earlier and international passengers increased 8.4 percent (Tables 7, 13).
U.S. carriers operated 9.7 million domestic and international flights during the first 11 months of 2006, 3.1 percent fewer than were operated during the same period in 2005 (Table 1). Domestic fights were down 3.6 percent from the previous year while international flights were up 2.9 percent (Tables 7, 13).
In November, U.S. airlines operated 852,600 scheduled domestic and international flights, down 0.8 percent from the number of flights operated in November 2005 (Table 1). The number of domestic flights declined 1.1 percent in November from a year earlier while international flights increased 4.0 percent (Tables 7, 13).
America West Airlines and US Airways report traffic data separately because the carriers hold two operating certificates despite the merged business operations. They will file a merged traffic report when they operate under a single certificate.
