Abstract	This page presents two different measures of air fares. Both are computed using data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics' Passenger Origin and Destination (O&D) Survey, a 10% sample of all airline tickets for U.S. carriers, excluding charter air travel. The first measure is average fares, the basic standard used widely in the airline industry to calculate fares. The second measure is the Air Travel Price Index (ATPI), a statistical index that documents quarterly changes in airline prices since the first quarter of 1995. The index measures changes in airline ticket prices used on identical routings and identical classes of service on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
