BTS Releases September Airline Full-Time and Part-Time Employment Data

 

The Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) today updated its airline employment web page with September full-time and part-time employment data.

 

Total employment (full-time + part-time) by all U.S. airlines including scheduled passenger, charter and cargo:

 

September 2013                      583,030

August 2014                            588,040 (revised)

September 2014                      588,035


Individual airline numbers are available on the BTS airline employment web page. The web page provides full-time and part-time employment numbers by carrier by month from 1990 through September 2014.

 

Airlines that operate at least one aircraft that has more than 60 seats or the capacity to carry a payload of passengers, cargo and fuel weighing more than 18,000 pounds must report monthly employment statistics.

 

The next web update for full-time and part-time employment is scheduled for Dec. 11. The BTS press release on full-time equivalent employment for scheduled passenger airlines, including historic comparisons and summary tables, will be issued Nov. 20.
