Passenger Load Factor on All U.S. Scheduled Airlines (Domestic & International), December 2009-November 2011

Thursday, February 23, 2012 - The U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today that U.S. airlines carried 58.1 million scheduled domestic and international passengers in November 2011. The airlines carried 0.2 percent more domestic passengers and 1.9 percent fewer international passengers than in November 2010, resulting in a systemwide decrease of 0.1 percent (Tables 1, 7, 13).  The November 2011 passenger total was 6.0 percent above that of two years ago in November 2009 (Table 2).

BTS, a part of DOTs Research and Innovative Technology Administration, also reported in a release of preliminary data the system load factor of 81.9 percent and the domestic load factor of 83.6 percent were record highs for the month of November (Tables 1, 7).

U.S. airlines carried 671.1 million total system passengers during the first 11 months of 2011, up 1.4 percent from the same period in 2010 (Table 2). Domestically, they carried 586.1 million passengers, up 1.3 percent from 2010 (Table 8). Internationally, they carried 85.0 million passengers, up 1.9 percent from 2010 (Table 14). Systemwide, domestic and international totals were all the highest for January through November since 2008. See Tables 2, 8 and 14 of Air Traffic Press Releases for previous year numbers.
