NOTES: The current value is compared to the value
from the same period in the previous year to account for seasonality.
The data have been adjusted to have a standard 30-day month by
multiplying the data for each month by the ratio: 30/(actual days in month).
The data include both transborder and foreign flights by large
U.S. carriers, but not include any flights by foreign carriers.
The dramatic changes in the September 2001 data reflect the
impact of the terrorist attacks on Sept.11, 2001, on aviation, including
several days in which commercial air operations were suspended.
The data reported here excludes small-certificated and commuter
carriers that began reporting T100 data in 2002 for comparability with
previous issues.
