The BTS website has a lot of useful information including data and statistics by different modes of transportation. The Airlines and Airports statistics section will lead you to quick facts such as Air Traffic Hubs, Airline and Airport snapshots, On Time statistics, baggage fees, etc. Look for all of this useful information in the Quick Links box of the By Mode, Airlines and Airports section.

Issued annually by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, editions from 2000 to present are available for viewing or downloading. This compendium of statistics includes data on all modes of transportation with emphasis on the economy, environment, safety, and overall performance. Aviation statistics concerning baggage complaints, air carrier delays, and passenger screening are among the many statistics made available.

This site contains information on transportation and transportation related activities for Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Information can be viewed for each individual country or between countries. Data which can be found includes transportation and economy, transportation safety, transportation and the environment, trade, and passenger and freight activity.

The NTSB aviation accident database contains information from 1962 and later about civil aviation accidents and selected incidents within the United States, its territories and possessions, and in international waters. Generally, a preliminary report is available online within a few days of an accident. Factual information is added when available, and when the investigation is completed, the preliminary report is replaced with a final description of the accident and its probable cause. Full narrative descriptions may not be available for dates before 1993, cases under revision, or where NTSB did not have primary investigative responsibility.
