Abstract: The data collected serves as the only source of data for charter and nonscheduled( on-demand) passenger data by Part 135 operator (air taxis). FAA request that on-demand operators voluntarily report the number of revenue passengers that boarded their flights annually by airport. FAA and contractor staff review the responses (either paper or signed electronic copy) to ensure that the operator submitting data is valid and the response is complete. Valid submissions are incorporated into an FAA database which also contains enplanement data collected from certificated, commuters, and foreign air carriers. Enplanement data are consolidated into a report for each airport that lists each air carrier and their annual enplanements. This is used to determine whether an airport is eligible for Airport Improvement Program funds and calculates primary airport sponsor apportionment as specified by title 49 United Stated Code (U.S.C.), section 47114.The data collected serves as the only source of data for charter and nonscheduled passenger data by Part 135 operator (air taxis).
