Airline Financial Review Q4 2003 – Major Passenger Group

This report contains staff comments, tables and charts on the financial condition of the U.S. major airlines. All data presented in this financial and traffic review are derived from data reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation on Form 41 Schedules by Large Certificated Air Carriers.

The data are presented on both a carrier group and an individual carrier basis, but the primary focus is on the individual major carrier and its performance. Data are presented for the most recent quarterly period and the comparable quarter a year earlier and also on a 12-month ended basis as at the end of the five most recent quarters. In addition, data on charges over comparable periods 12-months earlier are presented. A graphic presentation of comparative trends, on a carrier group basis, is made for several unit and overall financial indicators. In the case of merged carriers, data for the carriers involved have been combined and presented under the name of the surviving carrier so that meaningful comparisons could be made.

Suggestions from users for the improving either the scope, presentation, or utility of this review are invited. It will also be appreciated if suggestions, discrepancies, and errors in the data are called to the attention of the Economic & Financial Division, Office of Aviation Analysis, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.
