U.S. International Air Traffic Data(1990-2020)

Content

The data comes from the U.S. International Air Passenger and Freight Statistics Report. As part of the T-100 program, USDOT receives traffic reports of US and international airlines operating to and from US airports. There are two datasets available:

• Departures: Data on all flights between US gateways and non-US gateways, irrespective of origin and destination.

Each observation provides information on a specific airline for a pair of airports, one in the US and the other outside. Three main columns record the number of flights: Scheduled, Charter, and Total.

• Passengers: Data on the total number of passengers for each month and year between a pair of airports, as serviced by a particular airline.

U.S. International Air Passenger and Freight data are confidential for a period of 6 months, after which it can be released. As a result, quarterly reports and the year to date/calendar year raw data files available here will always lag by two quarters.

Questions that can be answered with data

• Top 10 busiest airports
• Monthly total of flights
