Air Carrier Financial Statistics: fourth quarter: [2009]

This report presents airline financial statistics obtained from carrier reports to DOT on BTS Form 41 financial schedules. Effective with a rule (ER-1297) adopted July 1982, the filing frequency for income statement and balance sheet data was changed from quarterly to semiannually for medium regional carriers with annual operating revenue less than $10 million. Semiannual financial data for these carriers appear as a supplement in June and December issues of this publication. Classification of carriers within groupings is reviewed annually. When a carrier's frequency of filing financial data is changed because of reclassification, it may be necessary to use prior publications to obtain historical data. Data include income statement and balance sheet figures, in separate sections, by carrier entity for the most recent quarter and 12-month period and similar data for like periods in the previous year. Data are available since 1998.

本报告呈现了由各航空公司向美国交通部（Department of Transportation，DOT）提交的BTS表格41（BTS Form 41）财务附表所获取的航空财务统计数据。1982年7月正式施行的ER-1297号规则规定，将年营业收入低于1000万美元的中型区域航空公司的利润表与资产负债表数据报送频率从季度调整为半年度。此类航空公司的半年度财务数据将作为补充内容刊载于本刊6月号与12月号中。航空公司的分组分类标准每年都会进行复核，若某航空公司因重新分类而变更财务数据报送频率，则需查阅往期出版物方可获取其历史数据。数据分为利润表与资产负债表两个独立板块，涵盖各承运主体最近一个季度及12个月周期的相关数据，以及上一年度对应周期的同类统计数据。该类数据的可获取记录始于1998年。
