Air Carrier Financial Statistics: fourth quarter: [2004]

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.

本报告收录了航空公司依照美国运输统计局（Bureau of Transportation Statistics, BTS）第41号财务附表格式，向美国交通部（Department of Transportation, DOT）提交的航空财务统计数据。1982年7月通过的第ER-1297号规则生效后，对于年度营业收入低于1000万美元的中型区域航空公司，其损益表与资产负债表数据的报送频率由季度调整为半年度。此类航空公司的半年度财务数据将作为补充内容，刊载于本出版物的6月与12月刊中。航空公司的分组归类每年都会进行复审调整。若某航空公司因归类调整而变更财务数据报送频率，则需借助往期出版物方可获取其历史统计数据。数据按航空公司主体分列，损益表与资产负债表数据分设独立章节，涵盖最近一个季度及12个月周期的相关数据，以及上一年度同期的对应数据。本数据集的统计数据可追溯至1998年。
