Department of Transportation, Research and Special Programs Administration, Office of Aviation Information Management
Number 130
Issue Date: October 12, 1989
Effective Date: January 1, 1990
Part: 241
Section: 24
Paragraph: Schedule P-1.2

On November 7, 1988, the Department issued a final rule (53 rR 46284,,November 16, 1988) amending Parts 217 and 241 of the its Economic Regulations by implementing a "T-100 System" of reporting for large certificated U.S. air carriers and foreign air carriers, and revising form 41 Schedules, T-1, T-2 and' T-3. The T-100 System is a system for reporting nonstop segment data and on- flight market information. For U.S. carriers, ´among other things, it replaces service segment data, Form 41, Schedule T-9 "Nonstop Market Report," and Form 217 charter reporting. For foreign carriers, it replaces Form 217 and adds the reporting of scheduled service data. This new system of reporting becomes effective on January 1, 1990.

One of the provisions of the final rule revised the requirement for reporting scheduled passenger revenues between first class and coach fare classes on Form 41, Schedule P-1.2 "Statement of Operations." Effective with the reporting period beginning January 1, 1990, only Group III air carriers conducting scheduled operations are required to report passenger revenues by service class (first class and coach) for, their international entities.

The reporting instructions in Section 24 of Part 241 require Schedule P-1.2 to be filed for each operating entity and for the overall or system operations of the air carrier. Currently, passenger revenues are reported as Account 3901.1 "Passenger-First Class" and Account 3901.2 "Passenger-Coach" an Schedule P-1.2 for all entities by U.S. carriers. To accommodate the change in limiting the service class reporting of passenger revenues to the international entities, Schedule P-1.2 has been modified by adding Account 3901 "Transport Revenues-Passenger." Supplies of the revised Schedule P-1.2 will be mailed to carriers before the March 1990 quarter is due. In the meantime, a copy of the revised Schedule P-1.2 format is provided as Attachment A for your information.

To facilitate the reporting of passenger revenues on revised Schedule P-1.2, the following instructions are provided.
