US international air traffic patterns
Care to share?

In what increasingly feels like a world gone mad, with a tepid international air travel recovery that may now become even more languid, we take a look at US international air traffic numbers through September 2021 from just published data.  As always let’s go to the model.

There are four pages readers can interact with, selecting items to get different views. 

  • Page 1: Select an airline and a destination to see passenger volume, average flight distance (miles), monthly (seasonal) traffic flows, and market growth.
  • Page 2: Select an airline and a country destination see the traffic volume by origin US airport. Essentially US outbound traffic.
  • Page 3: Select an airline and origin country to see the traffic volume by US destination airport. Essentially US inbound traffic.
  • Page 4: Select one of the top 20 countries generating air travel to the US, and then one of the top 20 US destination airports to see the top 10 airline market shares and overall market traffic.

Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much.

  1. The Passengers per year Increase/decrease chart (bottom right or page 1) does not appear to be showing decreases in years where the (top left) passengers per year chart shows decreases.

    Are these charts both labelled ‘passengers per year’ showing different things? Or is the increase/decrease chart malfunctioning?

  2. The lower chart is the percent, they show the same thing in different ways. The lower chart is OK. Thanks for your question though.
