World Air Transport Statistics (WATS)

WATS is IATA's annual compendium of airline traffic, capacity, freight and financial statistics drawn from direct reports of 250+ carriers, delivered as an interactive dashboard subscription with roughly 16 years of history.

In this catalog it appears concretely: - IATA World Air Transport Statistics (WATS): annual compendium of airline traffic, capacity, freight and financial statistics compiled from direct reports of more than 250 international carriers. - WATS temporal coverage: annual editions since 1945 (records back to 1945 on request); standard subscriptions include about 16 years of history; WATS Global covers 2010-2025. - IATA WATS End User License Agreement: limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence restricted to internal business use; redistribution, sub-licensing and derivative works prohibited.

A label on a listing is not a deliverable: teams that license on a name match often find the shipped files cover a narrower slice than assumed, and backfilling history costs more than the license.

The failure mode is concrete: the label appears in a listing, the delivered files tell a different story, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing it is most expensive.
