Passenger Airlines Data Provider: 14 Cataloged Datasets

Fourteen records make up the passenger airlines slice - six primary datasets and eight adjacent aviation sets - and each answers a different question about flying.

BTS TranStats - Air Carrier Statistics (T-100) & Airline On-Time Performance is the official anchor, quality 9/10.

Twenty-one databases in the U.S.

DOT aviation index, led by Airline On-Time Performance for certificated carriers from October 1987 - roughly 5-7 million flight rows a year - and census-level T-100 traffic from 1990: passengers, seats, available seat-miles and load factors at carrier-segment-month grain, with an All Carriers variant adding foreign carriers serving the United States.

[2015 Flight Delays and Cancellations (5.8M U.S.

Flights)](/datasets/passenger-airlines/2015-flight-delays-and-cancellations-5-8m-u-s-flights) is the modelling benchmark, quality 9/10. 5,819,079 individual flight segments for calendar 2015 in one zipped CSV with airline and airport lookup files: scheduled versus actual times, delay minutes, cancellation and diversion flags.

World Bank - Air Transport, Passengers Carried (ICAO-sourced, 1970-2023) sizes demand, quality 9/10.

Indicator IS.AIR.PSGR tracks registered-carrier passengers for roughly 265 economies annually from 1970 through 2023 - about 14,000 country-year observations sourced from ICAO Civil Aviation Statistics.

Roughly 15 flight services covering offer shopping, on-demand flight status, seatmap display, airline code lookup and route networks drawn from a global airline and airport network.

Airline Passenger Satisfaction (103K Survey Responses) measures the cabin, quality 8/10. 129,880 survey responses rating 23 service attributes - wifi, seat comfort, boarding, cleanliness - against a satisfied-versus-neutral label, pre-split into 103,904 training and 25,976 test rows.

OpenFlights Airline, Airport and Route Database is the reference backbone, quality 8/10.

Three CSV files listing 7,698 airports, 6,162 airlines and 67,663 directional routes with IATA/ICAO codes, coordinates, callsigns and codeshare flags; the route network is frozen at June 2014 while the airport and airline files carry a 2017 baseline.
