Data Insights US International Air Passenger and Freight Statistics Report for June 2005
This report represents a limited aspect of international travel. Non-stop flows into and out of the U.S. Cities that serve as an international gateway will have high numbers in this report, but users should bear in mind that some portion of this traffic continued on a connecting flight to their final destination. Conversely, U.S. carriers serve some international points only through an international connection; therefore it might look as if no US carrier serves a certain international point when in fact US carrier traffic is first flowing through a connecting city.
Figures for U.S. nonstop market share do not necessarily correlate to the total service provided to that point by U.S. carriers.
