**[INTRODUCTION]{.underline}**

The *Air Travel Consumer Report* is a monthly product of the Department
of Transportation\'s Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings
(OAEP). The report is designed to assist consumers with information on
the quality of services provided by the airlines.

The report is divided into six sections (Flight Delays, Mishandled
Baggage, Oversales, Consumer Complaints, Customer Service Reports to the
Transportation Security Administration, and Airline Reports of the Loss,
Injury, or Death of Animals During Air Transportation). The sections
that deal with flight delays, mishandled baggage and oversales are based
on data collected by the Department's Bureau of Transportation
Statistics. The section that deals with consumer complaints is based on
data compiled by the OAEP's Aviation Consumer Protection Division
(ACPD). The section that deals with customer service reports to the
Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) is based on data provided by TSA. The section that deals with
animal incidents during air transport is based on reports required to be
submitted by airlines to the ACPD. Each section of the report is
preceded by a brief explanation of how to read and understand the
information provided.

The report normally is released by the end of the first week of each
month. The report is available via the Internet at
[*http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/*](http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/)

**[FLIGHT DELAYS]{.underline}**

This section provides information about airline on-time performance,
flight delays, and cancellations. It is based on data filed by airlines
each month with the Department of Transportation's Bureau of
Transportation Statistics (Office of Airline Information), as described
in 14 CFR Part 234 of DOT\'s regulations. It covers nonstop
scheduled-service flights between points within the United States
(including territories) by the 20**\*** U.S. air carriers that have at
least one percent of total domestic scheduled-service passenger
revenues.

The rule requires carriers to currently report on operations to and from
the 31 U.S. airports that account for at least one percent of the
nation\'s total domestic scheduled-service passenger enplanements (see
Appendix for a complete list of the reportable airports). However, all
reporting airlines have voluntarily provided data for their entire
domestic systems, and that information is included in this report.

A flight is counted as \"on time\" if it operated less than 15 minutes
after the scheduled time shown in the carriers\' Computerized
Reservations Systems (CRS). All tables in this report except Table 4 are
based on gate arrival times; Table 4 is based on gate departure times.

In fulfilling DOT's data reporting requirements, the reporting air
carriers use automated and/or manual systems for collecting flight data.
Those using an automated system rely on the Aircraft Communication
Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS). Based on the latest information
available to DOT, of the 20**\*** reporting air carriers, 12 carriers
(America West**\***, American, American Eagle, Continental, Delta,
ExpressJet, Frontier, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Northwest, United, and US
Airways\*) use ACARS exclusively; 4 carriers (AirTran, Atlantic
Southeast, Comair, and Southwest) record arrival times manually; and 4
carriers (Alaska, ATA, Mesa, and SkyWest) use a combination of ACARS and
manual reporting systems.

As indicated above, a carrier may voluntarily file data for its entire
domestic system. Tables 2, 3, and 4 are limited to the 31 required or
\"reportable\" airports; Tables 5, 6 and 7 contain data on flights
to/from all airports that were reported. Tables 1 and 8 each have one
column for the 31 \"reportable\" airports and another for all of the
airports reported; see footnote C for additional explanation.

Tables 1 through 4 display percentages of flight operations that were on
time, while Tables 5 and 6 show service that was late. Tables 1, 1A, and
2 present data by carrier; airlines are ranked by performance in Table 1
and are listed in alphabetical order by carrier code in Table 2 (see
Appendix for codes). Beginning with the February 1988 report, Table 1A
shows carrier rankings by month and time-series data on the percentage
of flight operations that arrived on time.

Tables 3 and 4 provide information by airport and time of day. Table 5
is a list of the most frequently delayed flights, showing the percentage
of each flight operation that was late that month and the average and
median number of minutes the flight was late. The flights with the
highest percentage of late operations are listed first in Table 5; where
percentages are identical, flights are listed alphabetically by carrier
code. Table 6, like Tables 1, 1A, and 2, presents data by carrier, but
lists the carriers in rank order from worst to best based on the number
of flights which were late 70% of the time or more. Table 7 lists more
than 200 cities in alphabetical order with the corresponding on-time
arrival and departure percentages.

Tables 3, 4, and 5 contain information on the time of day that a flight
operated. All times are local. A 10:50 a.m. departure from Atlanta is
10:50 a.m. Atlanta time; if that flight arrived in Dallas at 11:45 a.m.,
that is 11:45 a.m. Dallas time. If a flight\'s scheduled operating time
changed during the month, Table 5 shows the time that was in effect for
the last flight operation performed that month.

Table 8 displays the number of operations, number of flight
cancellations, and percentage of cancellations by air carrier for the
reportable airports and for the air carriers' domestic system.

Table 9 displays airline flight delay causation data by categories and
Table 10 provides an overall graphic representation of that data.

This report provides summary information; except for the few flights
listed in Table 5, it does not show the on-time record of individual
flights. A printout showing the performance of each specific flight
reported to DOT is available for inspection in the Reports Reference
Room (room 4201) of the Office of Airline Information at DOT\'s
headquarters in Washington, D.C. The on-time performance for individual
markets and flights can be searched at *http://www.bts.gov/ntda/oai/*.
Airline Service Quality Performance data is available for purchase as a
CD product from the BTS Product Distribution Center. It can be purchased
by calling 202-366-DATA (3282). The Department cannot respond to
inquiries about the performance of individual flights.

Information on the performance of specific flights is displayed on the
CRS used by most airlines and travel agencies. Each of the reporting
carriers\' flights have a one-digit code between 0 and 9 representing
that flight\'s percentage of on-time operations for the latest reported
month. For example, \"8\" means that flight arrived on time (within 15
minutes) between 80% and 89.9% of the time during the latest reported
month.

**\*** **Effective January 2006, data of the merged operations of US
Airways and America West Airlines are combined, and appear only as US or
US Airways data in the flight delay tables.**

**\*Causes of Delay:**

-   Air Carrier Delay: The cause of the cancellation or delay was due to
    circumstances within the airline's control (e.g. maintenance or crew
    problems, etc.).

-   Extreme Weather Delay: Significant meteorological conditions (actual
    or forecasted) that, in the judgment of the carrier, delays or
    prevents the operation of a flight.

-   National Aviation System Delay: Delays and cancellations
    attributable to the national aviation system refer to a broad set of
    conditions \-- non-extreme weather conditions, airport operations,
    heavy traffic volume, air traffic control, etc.

-   Security Delay: Delays caused by evacuation of terminal or
    concourse, re-boarding of aircraft because of security breech,
    inoperative screening equipment and long lines in excess of 29
    minutes at screening areas.

-   Late Arriving Aircraft Delay: Previous flight with same aircraft
    arrived late which caused the present flight to depart late.

A "cancelled" flight is a flight that was not operated, but was in the
carrier\'s computer reservation system within 7 days of the scheduled
departure. A "diverted" flight is a flight which is operated from the
scheduled origin point to a point other than the scheduled destination
point in the carrier\'s published schedule.

**\*\* See Appendix at the end of this section for list of carrier
codes.**

Airways and America West Airlines are combined, and appear only as US
data in this table.

**D** \"On time\" means an arrival less than 15 minutes after scheduled
arrival time; cancelled and diverted flights are not considered on-time
arrivals.

**E** \"On time\" means a departure less than 15 minutes after scheduled
departure time; cancelled flights are not considered on-time departures;
diverted flights may be on time or late departures, depending on actual
departure time.

**F** Incomplete data; percentage based on operations reported.

**G** Carrier did not report useable data.

**H** Carrier did not serve airport.

**I** Regularly scheduled flights are those for which the carrier
reported at least 15 operations for the month.

**J** Blanks in any time interval in Tables 3 and 4 indicate no arrival
operations (Table 3) or departure operations

> (Table 4) for domestic flights of the reporting carriers during that

**S** Carrier reported data for entire domestic system.

**V** Carrier reported data voluntarily.

**[APPENDIX]{.underline}**

NOTE: The Department of Transportation has screened the reporting
carriers\' data for completeness and verified all arithmetic data
elements computed by the carriers (e.g., length of delay). Individual
flight operations records with incorrect calculations, erroneous
city-pairs, or missing data elements were rejected and excluded from the
data base; such rejected records accounted for less than 0.01% of the
flight operations records submitted. Any errors in the data base with
respect to basic flight data \-- non-computed data elements such as
flight numbers, scheduled and actual arrival/departure times, days of
operation \-- are the responsibility of the reporting carrier.

This section furnishes data on the number of passengers who hold
confirmed reservations and are denied boarding (\"bumped\") from a
flight because it is oversold. These figures include only passengers
whose oversold flight departs without them; they do not include
passengers affected by cancelled, delayed or diverted flights.

The report includes U.S. airlines that have at least one percent of
total domestic scheduled-service passenger revenues *and* operate
aircraft with a passenger capacity of more than 60 seats (see footnote
on chart for details). It provides system data for scheduled passenger
service on domestic flights and data on international flight segments
that originate in the United States. Information is displayed for the
latest available quarter and for the year to date, for the current
period and for the same period in the previous year. The data are
reported quarterly to DOT's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (Office
of Airline Information). The reporting requirement is found in 14 CFR
250.10.

These tables give information by carrier on the number of passengers
bumped involuntarily and on the number who voluntarily gave up their
seat on an oversold flight in exchange for compensation. Also shown is
the rate of involuntary denied boardings per 10,000 passengers. This
rate determines the order in which carriers are listed; the airline with
the lowest rate appears first. The number and rate of involuntary denied
boardings include both passengers who received denied boarding
compensation and passengers who did not qualify for compensation because
of one of the exceptions in the oversales rule. There are three
exceptions: 1) passenger accommodated on another flight scheduled to
arrive within one hour of the original flight; 2) passenger fails to
comply with ticketing, check-in or reconfirmation procedures; and 3)
aircraft of smaller capacity is substituted. Totals appear at the end of
each table.

The enplanements figures that are used to calculate the involuntary
denied boarding rate do not include \"shuttle\" service on which
reservations are not offered, nor do they include inbound international
service, since the rule does not apply to these flights.

> **[CONSUMER COMPLAINTS]{.underline}**

This section summarizes aviation consumer complaints filed with the
Department in writing, by telephone, via e-mail, or in person. DOT has
not determined the validity of the complaints. The report does not
include safety complaints (which are handled by the Federal Aviation
Administration) or security complaints (which are handled by the
Transportation Security Administration). An explanation of each section
of the report appears below:

**Summary** - Table 1 gives the total number of complaints, and also
breaks down complaints by industry groups (U.S. airlines, tour
operators, etc.). As with most other sections of the report, figures for
the current month are compared to the same month in the previous year.

**Complaint Categories** - Table 2 ranks the categories of complaints
(baggage, refunds, etc.). Beginning with the October 2000 report,
"Animals" was added as a new category. A detailed explanation of each
category appears at the end of the report.

**U.S. Airlines** - Table 3 shows the number of complaints against
individual U.S. airlines, listed alphabetically and broken down by
complaint category.

**Incident Date** - Table 4 shows the number of complaints against
individual U.S. airlines, listed alphabetically and broken down by the
percentage of complaints where the incident occurred in the most recent
month versus previous periods (Incident Date data is not included in YTD
section).

**Companies Other Than U.S. Airlines** - Table 5 (Table 4 in YTD
reports) provides the same information as above for foreign airlines,
and for tour operators, travel agents, etc.

**Airline Rankings** - Table 6 (Table 5 in YTD reports) ranks the
largest U.S. airlines (those that each account for one percent of total
domestic scheduled-service passenger revenues, plus any other carrier
that voluntarily reports flight delay and mishandled baggage data to
DOT) according to the rate of complaints per 100,000 passengers. This
ranking takes into account airline size when identifying the carriers
against whom the most complaints have been filed.

represent a more limited group, namely, those who take the extra step of
contacting the Department of Transportation to complain about an
airline. Airlines themselves receive thousands of complaints and

**March 2006 Airline Reports to DOT of Incidents Involving the**

**Loss, Injury or Death of Animals During Air Transportation**

[Section
710](http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/reports/2005/july/AIR-21excerpt.doc)
of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21^st^
Century ("AIR-21"; P.L. 106-81) requires U.S. airlines that perform
scheduled passenger transportation to file reports with the Department
concerning incidents involving the loss, injury or death of animals
during air transportation. This requirement was implemented through the
issuance of 14 CFR 234.13 ([70 FR
7392](http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/reports/2005/july/DOTrule.pdf)) as
supplemented by a Reporting Directive published at [70 FR
9217](http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/reports/2005/july/ReportingDirective.pdf).

An airline is required to submit a report for any month in which it
experienced a loss, injury or death of a pet during air transportation.
DOT publishes these reports monthly and also forwards the reports to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, which enforces the Animal Welfare Act.
The copies of the reports that appear here are redacted to remove
identifying information about individuals, including the owner of the
pet.

A statistical summary of the reports appears in the table below. To see
the actual (redacted) reports filed by these airlines, click the
airline's name in the web version of the report (see
http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/reports/index.htm).
