The single best source of information on the U.S. airline industry is the ATA Economic Report, which highlights facts and figures drawn from all areas of the U.S. passenger and cargo airline industry, including operational and financial results for passenger and cargo operations. The ATA Economic Report report is our official recording of industrywide performance. If industrywide data is not available on a timely basis, ATA uses samples to approximate industry trends. Historical editions are available electronically dating back to the first edition in 1937.
