Confidentiality – The Act provides that your report to this Bureau is
CONFIDENTIAL and can be used only for analytical or statistical purposes.

taxation, investigation, or regulation. Copies retained in your files are
immune from legal process.

other representatives of foreign airline operators that transport
passengers or freight and express to or from the United States.
How to report – Use this form to report information in accordance with
the instructions and the definitions that are given here. Report revenues
and expenses in thousands of U.S. dollars (for example, $10,000,000.00
should be reported as $10,000).
