Passenger Boarding (Enplanement) and All-Cargo Data for U.S. Airports

Passenger boarding (enplanement) and all-cargo data is extracted from the FAA's Air Carrier Activity database. This database supports the FAA's airport categories for use in apportionment formula calculations under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law programs.
More about the collection and use of passenger and all-cargo data »

Passenger boarding and all-cargo data is collected for a full calendar year and is used in calculating airport categories and entitlements for the next full fiscal year (i.e., Calendar Year 2023 data determines Fiscal Year 2025 category and funds).

  • Preliminary Calendar Year 2023 enplanement and all-cargo data became available in June 2024.
  • Final Calendar Year 2023 enplanement and all-cargo data was available in September 2024.

Airports can view their individual CY 2023 enplanement report on our Airports External Portal (AEP). Please select "ENPLANEMENT PUBLIC REPORT & FORM" on the AEP Site (See CY 2023 ATCO Preliminary and Final Review Information).
