US Airlines Performance Model: DOT T-100 Insights

Care to share?

Recently, the US DOT updated its T-100 datasets, which necessitated a refresh of the instrumental T2 dataset.  We updated our various models accordingly.

We want to share one of these models with subscribers. This is a six-pager with menus to drive each page. We excluded regional airlines

and aircraft from this model.

  • Page 1 – Ramp to Ramp time in hours, load factor, and number of flights.  On every page, the number of flights is reflected in the size of the balls.
  • Page 2 – Stage length, Airborne hours/flight, and number of flights.
  • Page 3 –  Load factor, PAX, and airlines.
  • Page 4 – ASM by OEM, with aircraft selection.
  • Page 5 – ASM/Gallon of fuel, with OEM and model selectors.

Key Insights from the Data

  • Big Four dominance: charts reveal their overwhelming critical mass.
  • Southwest weaker vs Big Three: once a challenger, now visibly less threatening.
  • Efficiency metrics: ASM/Gallon highlights OEM and model gaps.
