"NOTE: N/A means the numbers were not included because the carrier did not meet the requirement for filing reports.  Independence Air (formerly known as Atlantic Coast Airlines) data have been included in 2003 totals for Regional Carriers, but reflecting the current change in its business model, the 2004 data have been included with Low Cost carrier results.",,,,,,,,
