a Rank order by total enplaned passengers on large certificated U.S. air carriers (Majors, Nationals, Large Regionals, and Medium Regionals), scheduled and nonscheduled operations, at all airports served within the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and other U.S. areas designated by the Federal Aviation Administration.
b The total for the top 50 airports will not sum from the individual airports because some top 50 airports in 2010 were not in the top 50 in the earlier years.
