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 Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and FAA Invests Millions to Build Safer, More Accessible Airports Across the U.S. 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 2021 data determines Fiscal Year 2023 category and funds).
- Preliminary Calendar Year 2021 enplanement and all-cargo data is now available.
- Final Calendar Year 2021 enplanement and all-cargo data will become available in early August.
