MIT Launches US Airline Industry Databank
MIT and the International Center for Air Transportation has launched a useful new databank covering US airlines since 1995.
The Airline Data Project online databank, www.airlinedataproject.mit.edu, gives comparisons of the largest US carriers on scores of different cost, revenue and productivity measures. It allows users to compare 15 US airlines on a wide variety of measures, including fleet utilization, labor costs, cash flow and profitability.
The project allows researchers to confirm–and in some cases dispel–conventional wisdom about the airline industry by presenting information within a historical landscape.
The ADP was created in conjunction with the MIT Airline Industry Consortium, and with support from the Industry Studies Program of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. All of the data on the site is based on company filings with the Department of Transportation and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Data on the ADP web site will be updated regularly with additional charts and analysis available.
Access to the databank is free of charge.
