Total Dollar Value of Ticket as Reported in The Passenger Origin-destination Survey
Report
Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Office of Airline
Information
Number 242
Issue Date: February 15, 2000
Effective Date: Immediately
Part: 241.19-7
This directive applies to U.S. and foreign air carriers that submit the Passenger
Origin-Destination Survey Report.
In response to the recent steep increases in aviation fuel, some airlines have started
assessing fuel surcharges to their passengers. This directive reminds the airlines that
these fuel surcharges are to be included in the "Total Dollar Value of Ticket"
that is reported in the Passenger Origin-destination Survey report.
"Total dollar value of ticket" is the sum of the passenger fare plus any and
all taxes, fees and charges for the entire ticketed itinerary. This value is expressed
in U.S. dollars, with the cents dropped. For group tickets, the amount is the average
per passenger. In addition to fuel surcharges, passenger facility charges and security
surcharges are considered part of the passenger fare.
If you have any questions in this matter, please contact Mr. Bernie Stankus at
(202) 366-4387.
