1 Preliminary data do not generally include 'late records' which will be reflected in Quarterly and Final Annual reports

2 Air traffic only, non-stop from US port to foreign port. Does not imply total 'visitation' throughout the respective regions (refer U.S. Outbound Profile)

3 Percentage change is compared to the same time frame from the previous year.

Note: Air Traffic to Overseas and Mexico (on U.S. and foreign flags) are reported from the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries (OTTI) "U.S. International Air Travel Statistics Report" I-92.
