City Pairs — Atlanta
When a traveler starts to plan a trip or when an airline operator starts to plan air service, they will look at the points of origin and destination for flights. These points of origin and destination are thought of in terms of pairs of cities or pairs of metroplexes. For example, a passenger will look for flights between New York City and Los Angeles and there may be a variety of airports that can serve that city pair. For airline operators, city-pair performance is the most direct way to connect two markets. The January 2013 NPS release introduces this additional view of performance. In measuring city-pair performance, the NPS website looks at flights that either originate or conclude at a specific metroplex, such as the New York/Philadelphia metroplex to Southern California. For each city pair, directional information will be shown with the origin airport (for example, New York LaGuardia Airport, LGA) and the destination airport (for example, Los Angeles International, LAX).
All the results reported are in Calendar Year (CY) or Fiscal Year (FY).
