O&D Survey Data
Presented by: Tom Reich
1
What are Doing Here? Learn how to use T100 & O&D (DB1A/DB1B) to: Enhance your air service presentations
Identify opportunities for new air service
Understand what the changes and trends in T-100 & O&D actually mean
Become more fluent in airlinese
Sound Really Smart!
2
Where Did This Data Come From? Prior to 1978 all airfares were set by the Civil Aeronautics Board
(CAB) and airlines could not add flights or enter new markets without CAB approval
The CAB needed airlines to report O&D and T-100 data to: Ensure airlines were charging the correct fares Monitor market performance in response to new entrant requests Ensure a completely transparent market place for all players
After de-regulation airlines were still required to report the data
These databases represent the most detailed airline traffic reporting in the world
3
T-100 Overview
4
T-100 Data Aliases Include:
Form 41 Traffic Data Form 41 Schedule T-100 Data Airline Market & Segment Data Onboard and/or Onflight Data
Must be reported by all carriers that operate flights to, from, or within the United States Major & National Airlines Regional Airlines (required as of October 2002) Foreign Flag Airlines (required as of July 1990) Cargo Airlines Charter Airlines
5
T-100 Data Reporting Periods
All Data is Reported on a Monthly Basis There is No “Official” Breakdown of T-100 by Week, or Day of Week Domestic T-100 is Reported on a “Three Month Lag” International T-100 is Reported on a “Six Month Lag”
Passenger & Cargo Data is Reported Passenger Seating & Total Cargo Capacity is Reported Onboard/Onflight Passengers & Cargo Tons are Reported
All Data is Reported by Operating Carrier You Need to Figure Out Who is Flying for Who
6
T-100 Data Limitations
Related to Single-Plane Flights ONLY Does Not Include Revenue Data Regional Airline History is Spotty prior to October 2002
T-100 is NOT INTENDED to be an O&D Source
7
T-100 DataExists in Four Major Formats
Domestic Segment:Represents all passengers and/or cargo onboard domestic nonstop flights for each specific city pair. (Example: UA ORD-DCA)
Domestic Market:Represents all passengers and/or cargo onboard domestic same-plane one-stop flights for each specific city pair. (Example: WN DCA-AUS-SAN)
International Segment:Same format as domestic, but only for international flights
International Market:Same format as domestic, but only for international flights

Ways to Combine T-100 with Other DataCensus Data
Seats or Flights per Capita
OAG Schedule Data Use T-100 for historical data and airline schedule data for
current months to create a seamless historical time series
O&D Data Connecting flow of onboard passengers Load factors by connecting hub Adjustment to solve for total international O&D traffic
(Total T-100 Onboard – Total Domestic O&D = Total International O&D)
31
O&D Overview
32
O&D DataQuantifies passengers and fares paid from origin to
destination. Data detail includes: Marketing carrier of each flight segment Total fare paid Stops at intermediate airports Passenger’s point of origin
10% Sample All passenger tickets with a coupon number ending in 0 are recorded Raw data is multiplied by 10 to represent the total market (This is why O&D data figures are always a multiple of 10)
33
O&D DataAliases Include:
Origin & Destination Data DB1B Data DB1A Data Passenger Traffic Data SABRE Data (not actually O&D at all)
Must be reported by all domestic marketing carriers that operate flights to, from or within the United States DB1A (1940s through 1998) DB1B (1998 – Present)
34
O&D DataO&D Based Statistics You Can Calculate
Total O&D Passengers Total O&D Revenue Average Fares Nonstop Yield (Revenue per mile for nonstop distance between Origin & Destination)
Itinerary Yield (Revenue per mile for itinerary distance between Origin & Destination)
Average Passenger Trip Length Point of Sale Ratios Local Vs. Connect Ratios
O&D Based Statistics You Can Calculate with T-100 RASM (Revenue per Available Seat Mile)
35
Where Do You Get O&D Data?
36
Issues With O&D Data Reporting Periods
All Data is Reported on a Quarterly Basis There is No “Official” Breakdown of O&D by Month, Week, or Day of Week
Difficult to accurately identify seasonality in passenger demand and fare levels
O&D Is Reported on a Three to Six Month Lag
All Data is Reported by Marketing Carrier Codeshares make it difficult to figure out whose plane the passenger actually flew on Many data providers have come up with ways to solve for this
Errors in Reporting Certain regional carriers O&D traffic is incorrectly reported Some airlines report late, incorrectly or both causing delays in the data
37
Issues With O&D DataSmall Market Accuracy
Statistically small sample sizes Markets with less than 10 PDEW might not be recorded at all
Point of Origin O&D tells you the airport the passenger used, not the airport the
passenger lives closest too
Mental Blocks Each round trip passenger is counted twice An airport’s O&D traffic is two times its enplanements Think of O&D as “Departing from – Arriving at” data
38

Other Ways to Combine O&D with Other DataCensus Data
O&D Passengers per Capita
OAG Schedule Data Determine top markets/airports without nonstop service Compare available seat capacity with O&D passenger demand to determine
if the market is underserved Determine potential connecting markets for proposed new hub service

International Issues
63
International DOT DataForeign Carriers are Allowed to view:
T-100 (Domestic & International) Domestic O&D NOT ALLOWED TO SEE INTERNATIONAL O&D
Foreign Carriers US Flights Must report T-100 data for flights Are not required to report O&D for flights
International O&D Does not contain foreign carrier data
64
Access to International O&D Data is Restricted
Access to International O&D: Restricted to U.S. Citizens & U.S. Carriers Approval Needed from DOT-BTS to gain access to International O&D
