What it returns
Monthly traffic on every airline route that touches the United States since 2005, from US and foreign carriers: for each carrier, origin and destination airport, aircraft type, service class and month, the departures scheduled and performed, seats, passengers, freight, mail, payload, air time and distance, with the load factor (passengers as a share of seats).
Filter by carrier, airport, route (one or both directions), state, country, aircraft type, service class, month range or minimum passengers. Or group to get totals by carrier, airport, route, market, month, year, aircraft type, origin state or destination country, for market share, route growth, capacity and cargo analysis.
Source: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics T-100 Segment data (all carriers), updated monthly about three months after each month ends.
Charged per row or group returned.
