For reportable flight operations occurring during calendar year 2020, sixteen air carriers reached the reporting threshold of $512,473,115 in domestic scheduled passenger revenues (half of one percent of total domestic scheduled-service passenger revenues).  The revenues were measured for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2019. There is one carrier that reports voluntarily (ExpressJet Airlines), and the reporting carriers for calendar year 2020 are as follows:
