Air Traffic Passenger Statistics

B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED Data is self-reported by airlines and is only available at a monthly level C. UPDATE PROCESS Data updated quarterly D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET Airport data is seasonal in nature, therefore any comparative analyses should be done on a period-over-period basis (i.e. January 2010 vs. January 2009) as opposed to period-to-period (i.e. January 2010 vs. February 2010).

It is also important to note that fact and attribute field relationships are not always 1-to-1. For example, Passenger Counts belonging to United Airlines will appear in multiple attribute fields and are additive, which provides flexibility for the user to derive categorical Passenger Counts as desired.
