KEY: N = data do not exist; U = data are not available.

a Country where passenger boarded a direct flight to the United States.

b Canadian figure represents number of revenue passengers on scheduled commercial and charter flights. Does not include foreign (non-Canadian, non-U.S.) scheduled carriers.

NOTES

Includes passengers on international commercial flights arriving at U.S. airports and travelers between U.S. airports in the 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, or the Virgin Islands, and other U.S. territories.

Data compiled from flight reports required by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. Table includes a selected sample of countries of embarkation for passengers arriving in the United States.

Because two different data sources are used, the total number of arriving passengers may be less than the total for "country of embarkation" listed here.

Numbers may not add to totals due to roundings.
