U.S. Air Traffic Segment Summary by Origin Airport

The AFF - T100 Segment Summary By Origin Airport dataset provides commercial aviation metrics for U.S. airports. It includes detailed counts for passengers, seats, departures, freight, and mail, segmented by domestic and international outbound/inbound traffic. The data is published by data.bts.gov and was last updated in February 2026.

Use Cases

• Forecast passenger demand at specific Origin Airports using historical Outbound International Passengers and Domestic Passengers/Flight columns.
• Analyze airline operational efficiency by correlating Outbound International Load Factor (%) with Outbound International Seats/Flight.
• Model cargo logistics and supply chain flows using Total Freight (lbs), Domestic Freight (lbs), and Outbound International Freight (lbs) per airport.
• Compare airport hub performance by aggregating metrics like Inbound International Seats and Domestic Payload (lbs) by Origin City Name.
• Study the environmental impact of air travel by calculating fuel use estimates from Domestic Distance/Flight (sm) and passenger counts.

Strengths

• Dataset contains 29 distinct columns covering passenger, freight, mail, and distance metrics.
• Data provides segmentation between domestic and international traffic, as well as outbound and inbound flows.
• Includes temporal coverage via the Year column for longitudinal analysis.

Limitations

• Unknown row count prevents assessment of sample size and statistical power.
• Geographic coverage is limited to the United States, as indicated by the organization data.bts.gov.
• Lack of sample data obscures potential issues like null values or data formatting.
