BTS Releases October 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 October full-time and part-time employment data.

 

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

 

October 2014 

591,485

September 2015

606,610 (revised)

October 2015 

609,692

 

            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 October 2015.

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 Jan. 13. The BTS press release on full-time equivalent employment for scheduled passenger airlines, including historic comparisons and summary tables, will be issued Dec. 17.
