1Because relatively few flights were diverted from their original
destinations, that category is not clearly visible on the graph. The following
number of flights were diverted (by year): 14,121 (1996); 12,081 (1997); 13,161
(1998); 13,555 (1999); 14,254 (2000); and 12,144 (2001). Please note that the
