The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today that U.S. airlines’ systemwide (domestic and international) scheduled service load factor – a measure of the use of airline capacity – fell to 82.8 percent in April, seasonally adjusted, declining for the second consecutive month (Table 1). Seasonal adjustment allows the comparing of monthly load factors to all other months.

Load Factor on All U.S. Scheduled Airlines (Domestic & International),
April 2010 - April 2015

For April, U.S. airlines reported seasonally-adjusted all-time monthly highs in passenger enplanements, Revenue Passenger-Miles (RPMs) and Available Seat-Miles (ASMs). Systemwide passenger enplanements in April (65.4 million) exceeded the previous record in March 2015 by 0.4 percent (Table 8). Systemwide RPMs in April (73.8 billion) exceeded the previous record in March 2015 by 0.4 percent (Table 4). Systemwide ASMs in April (89.1 billion) exceeded the previous record in December 2014 by 0.8 percent (Table 6). These all-time highs did not result in a higher load factor in April because the airline capacity growth exceeded the growth in passenger travel.

The April load factor of 82.8 was below the all-time seasonally-adjusted high of 84.5 in January 2014 (Table 2). Load factor is a measure of the use of aircraft capacity that compares the system use, measured in RPMs as a proportion of system capacity, measured in ASMs.

The seasonally-adjusted load factor fell in April for the second consecutive month after reaching the highest point in 12 months in February (Table 1). The load factor declined from March to April despite a 0.3 percent increase in RPMs because system capacity grew faster (0.8 percent increase in ASMs) (Tables 3, 5).

BTS began issuing this monthly press release using both seasonally-adjusted and unadjusted data for industry totals beginning in January. This press release replaced the previous monthly Air Traffic press releases. Tables 2, 8 and 14 of the previous press release can be found at the end of the Unadjusted section of this press release. Additional traffic data can be found on the BTS Airlines and Airports page. Click on a link in the Quick Links box on the right. For more historical data, see Traffic on the BTS website.

Trends:

Seasonally-adjusted

The April load factor (82.8) dropped to the lowest level since November 2014 (Table 1). In April, RPMs, the passenger measure used to calculate load factor, reached an all-time high. However, the RPM increase did not keep pace with the increase in ASMs, leading to a decrease in the load factor. The last 10 months, starting with July 2014 through April 2015 are the 10 all-time highest months for RPMs with April 2015 the highest (Table 4).

Seasonally adjusted trends are for the time period January 2000 to present.

Unadjusted

Systemwide: Load factor (82.5) was down from the all-time April high set in 2014 (83.4). The number of passengers, RPMs and ASMs all reached record highs for the any April.

Domestic: Load factor (84.9) equaled the all-time high for the month of April set in 2014 (84.9). The number of passengers and RPMs reached all-time highs for the month of April. ASMs remained below the pre-recession peak in 2005.

International: Load factor (77.1) was down from April 2014 (80.1) and from the all-time April high set in 2012 (80.2). The number of passengers and RPMs were down from the all-time highs for the month of April, set in 2014. ASMs exceeded the previous record high set in April 2014.

Unadjusted trends are for the time period January 1996 to present. Data are available at Customize Table and can be downloaded from the seasonally-adjusted data  page.

Seasonally-Adjusted Air Travel

Seasonally-Adjusted Revenue Passenger-Miles

RPMs rose 0.3 percent from March to April, the second consecutive month of growth (Table 3).

RPMs of 73.8 billion in April were the highest all-time seasonally-adjusted total. Four of the top 10 all-time highest months for RPMs have been in 2015 and six were in 2014 (Table 4).

Seasonally-Adjusted Available Seat-Miles

ASMs rose 0.8 percent from March to April, the second consecutive month of growth (Table 5).

ASMs of 89.1 billion in April were the highest all-time seasonally-adjusted total. Three of the top 10 all-time highest months for ASMs have been in 2015 and one was in 2014 (Table 6).

Seasonally-Adjusted Passenger Enplanements

Systemwide: Systemwide passenger enplanements rose 0.4 percent from March to April, rising for the second consecutive month (Table 7). The systemwide total rose from March to April because of growth in domestic enplanements (0.4 percent). The systemwide growth took place despite a 0.2 percent decline in international enplanements (Tables 9, 11).

Enplanements of 65.4 million in April were the highest all-time seasonally-adjusted total. Four of the top 10 all-time highest months for enplanements have been in 2015 and one was in 2014 (Table 8).

Domestic: Enplanements on domestic flights rose 0.4 percent from March to April (Table 9). Domestic enplanements in April (57.0 million) were the second highest all-time seasonally-adjusted total, 0.3 percent less than the all-time seasonally-adjusted high in August 2007 (57.2 million). Two of the top 10 all-time highest months for domestic enplanements have been in 2015. No other post-recession months are among the top 10 all-time highest months for domestic enplanements (Table 10).

International: U.S. airlines’ international enplanements fell 0.2 percent from March to April, the fourth consecutive month of decline. The April level (8.3 million) was the 10th highest all-time seasonally-adjusted total, 0.8 percent less than the all-time seasonally-adjusted high in June 2014 (8.4 million). Four of the top 10 all-time highest months for international enplanements have been in 2015 and six were in 2014 (Tables 11, 12).

Unadjusted Tables

Unadjusted Load Factor

U.S. airlines’ systemwide (domestic and international) scheduled service load factor was 82.5 percent in April, down from March (83.9) and from April 2014 (83.4) (Table 13).

The April load factor of 82.5 was down from the all-time unadjusted high for the month of April of 83.4 reached in 2014. The April load factor was below the all-time unadjusted high of 87.0 reached in June 2013. (Table 14)

The load factor fell year-to-year despite a 3.4 percent increase in RPMs from April 2014 to April 2015 because ASMs grew faster (4.5 percent increase in ASMs) (Tables 15, 17).

Unadjusted Revenue Passenger-Miles

RPMs in April declined 3.5 percent from March but increased 3.4 percent from April 2014 (Table 15).

RPMs of 73.1 billion in April were 12.7 percent less than the all-time unadjusted high reached in July 2014. None of the top 10 all-time highest months for RPMs have been in 2015 and three were in 2014 (Table 16).

Unadjusted Available Seat-Miles

ASMs in April declined 1.9 percent from March but increased 4.5 percent from April 2014 (Table 17).

ASMs of 88.6 billion in April were 8.2 percent less than the all-time unadjusted high reached in July 2014. None of the top 10 all-time highest months for ASMs have been in 2015 but three were in 2014 (Table 18).

Unadjusted Passenger Enplanements

Systemwide: Systemwide unadjusted passenger enplanements in April 2015 (65.9 million) fell 3.3 percent from March (68.2 million) and rose 3.8 percent from April 2014 (63.5 million) (Table 19).

The April 2015 systemwide enplanement total (65.9 million) was 9.0 percent less than the all-time unadjusted high reached in July 2007 (72.4 million). The April 2015 level was the all-time unadjusted high for the month of April (Table 20).

Domestic: Domestic unadjusted passenger enplanements in April 2015 (57.7 million) fell 3.1 percent from March (59.5 million) and rose 4.4 percent from April 2014 (55.2 million) (Table 21).

The April 2015 domestic enplanement total (57.7 million) was 9.1 percent less than the all-time unadjusted high in July 2007 (63.5 million). The April 2015 level was the all-time unadjusted high for the month of April (Table 22).

International: International unadjusted passenger enplanements in April 2015 (8.22 million) fell 4.9 percent from March (8.6 million) and fell 0.2 percent from April 2014 (8.24 million) (Table 23).

The April 2015 international enplanement total (8.22 million) was 18.8 percent less than the all-time unadjusted high in July 2014 (10.1 million). The April 2015 level was down 0.2 percent from the all-time unadjusted high for the month of April (8.24 million) reached in 2014 (Table 24).

Explanation of seasonal adjustment

When the primary purpose is to examine monthly shifts in transportation services output and analyze short-term trends, the variation introduced by normal seasonal changes must be removed from the data. Transportation is highly seasonal, and without adjustment, the data do not give an accurate picture of underlying changes in aviation and passenger travel.

Seasonal adjustment of the data removes the seasonal events that follow a regular seasonal pattern. Changes that are not due to seasonality, such as a change in air travel resulting from economic conditions become more readily apparent.

The aviation data are seasonally adjusted for the effects of trading day, moving holidays, and data outliers.

See Seasonal Adjustment for methodology and additional explanation.
