 delta-hartsfield-flckr-large.jpgI had done is great for statistics. Evolution of the types of companies the finishing touches on an avalanche of data published in annual reports. Basketball fans consider his supporters arrested and I wonder how we could have four of those teams made the final. Stat baseball fan-obsessed and be prepared in a hurry to open today.

Business travelers? We have annual data dump from the Office of Transportation Statistics (BTS). He came in a nifty little package on Monday, complete with graphics, percentages, and some important publication on the condition of our situation on the road.

So let's tiptoe through the spreadsheet and figure out what everything means.
Let's get small

national air transportation system continues to contract. Including domestic and international flights, passengers flew 769.6 million last year. This is less than 5.3 percent percent, to 812.3 million dollars and more than 8, 2008 at less than the total in 2007 to 838.2 million dollars. Decline in local (down 5.2 percent) and international (down 6.3 percent) and travel. The decline has also been a reality throughout the year, and the number of passengers in 10 months last year, compared to the same month in 2008. The most visible and located in the first half of last year, however. Travel down 9 percent in the first six months of 2009. It was one of more modest 1.4 percent in the past six months. Of course, travel declined in late 2008, after Merrill Lynch drunk, so the comparison is slightly tilted.

And influence on the new airspace

Southwest Airlines approach holds - is simply stupid to air transport, offering the same service, the banks themselves, and structure of the same fare on each flight every day all the way through his system of Heaven. For the third consecutive year, the Southwest more passengers than any other U.S. carrier. It was the only airline that carries more than 100 million passengers in 2009, and came to travelers even more from the No. 4 United Airlines (56 million passengers in 2009), No. 6 Continental Airlines (43 million) combined. This thing is all the more impressive when you consider that Southwest does not fly abroad. American Airlines is the largest carrier between the United States and international services. A total of 85.7 million passengers, of whom 19.5 million flying internationally.

One plus one equals less than two

According to the statistics of the Tunisian Solidarity Bank separately Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines, although the carrier joined the two in the thigh, for most companies in 2009 and officially incorporated on December 31. Conducted jointly 108.5 million passengers. What would you do this is slightly larger than the south-west, which led to 101.3 million customers. (That would make the combined Delta northwest of 20.4 million international passengers is slightly larger than the movement in the U.S. and abroad.) But the numbers fool you, because the delta is shrinking rapidly. In 2008, Delta and Northwest are a total of 120.3 million passengers. This means that the two transport companies in 2009 fell almost 10 percent compared to 2008.

We're number 10!

10 carrier's largest nation in terms of passengers? SkyWest Airlines, enplaned 21.4 million customers in 2009. Never heard of SkyWest? Not surprising, really. It bears "regional": the language of passengers industry factor almost entirely under the brand name of any other carrier. But they are all a bunch of run daily 1748 SkyWest also expressed the UN (to) or the Delta Connection (Delta). The growth of SkyWest is a symbol of the industry's obsession with the delivery of out of service for the subcontractors that fly smaller aircraft and pay their employees less. In fact, such as regional carriers SkyWest currently running about half the flights in the country and the implementation of one in five local travelers.
