Data note: ARC statistics cover airline tickets issued and settled through ARC-accredited U.S. travel agencies. They do not represent all airline bookings or every passenger flown. Newly issued trips are added and refunded trips are deducted. Flightline downloads, validates and presents ARC's public monthly statistics; ARC remains the underlying source.
