BTS, a part of DOTs Research and Innovative Technology Administration, also reported in a release of preliminary data that the system load factor of 76.7 percent and the domestic load factor of 78.9 percent were record highs for the month of February (Tables 1, 7).Wednesday, May 23, 2012 - The U.S. Department of Transportations Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today that U.S. airlines carried 53.1 million scheduled domestic and international passengers in February 2012, 6.4 percent more domestic passengers and 4.4 percent more international passengers than in February 2011. These changes resulted in a systemwide increase of 6.1 percent in passengers from February 2011 (Tables 1, 7, 13). The February 2012 passenger total was 9.0 percent above that of two years ago in February 2010 (Table 2). Both periods benefited from the addition of an extra travel day in February 2012.

Passengers on All U.S. Scheduled Airlines (Domestic & International), March 2007-February 2012

U.S. airlines carried 107.6 million total system passengers during the first two months of 2012, up 3.7 percent from the same period in 2011 (Table 2). Domestically, they carried 93.5 million passengers, up 3.9 percent from 2011 (Table 8). Internationally, they carried 14.1 million passengers, up 1.9 percent from 2011 (Table 14). See Tables 2, 8 and 14 of Air Traffic Press Releases for previous year numbers.

LOAD FACTOR AND CAPACITY

The first two months of 2012 continued the trend of 2011 when the system and domestic load factors were at an all-time high while the international load factor declined from the all-time high in 2010 (Tables 1, 7, 13). Domestic capacity, measured by available seat-miles, increased 4.4 percent in February 2012 compared to February 2011, while revenue passenger miles (RPMs) increased by 5.7 percent, resulting in the record domestic load factor (Table 7). The international load factor in February increased as airlines grew capacity by 1.4 percent while RPMs gained by a larger 1.9 percent (Table 13). Systemwide capacity was up 1.6 percent compared to a 2.9 percent increase in RPMs (Table 1). See Tables 1, 7 and 13 of Air Traffic Press Releases for previous year numbers.

TOP AIRLINES

Monthly: In January, Southwest Airlines carried more total system and domestic passengers than any other U.S. airline (Tables 3, 9).
