Notes
- 2011 data are preliminary.
- Flighthours are estimated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Miles flown anddeparture information for on-demand Part 135 operations is not available.
- In2002, FAA changed their estimate of air taxi activity. The revision wasretroactively appliedto the years 1992 to 2002. In 2003, the FAA again revised flight activityestimates for 1999 to 2002.
- U.S.air carriers operating under 14 CFR Part 135 were previously referred to as Scheduledand Nonscheduled Services. Current tables now refer to these same
air carriers asCommuter Operations and On-Demand Operations, respectively, in
orderto be consisent with definitions in 14 CFR 119.3 and terminology used in
14CFR 135.1. On-Demand Part 135 operations encompass charters, air taxis, airtours,ormedical services (when a patient is on board).
