Notes

  • 2011 data are preliminary.
  • Flight hours are estimated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Miles flown and departure information for on-demand Part 135 operations is not available.
  • In2002, FAA changed their estimate of air taxi activity. The revision was retroactively applied to the years 1992 to 2002. In 2003, the FAA again revised flight activity estimates for 1999 to 2002.
  • US Air carriers operating under 14 CFR Part 135 were previously referred to as Scheduled and Nonscheduled Services. Current tables now refer to these same air carriers as Commuter Operations and On-Demand Operations, respectively, in order to be consistent with definitions in 14 CFR 119.3 and terminology used in 14CFR 135.1. On-Demand Part 135 operations encompass charters, air taxis, air tours, or medical services (when a patient is on board).
