A. SUMMARY San Francisco International Airport Report on Monthly Passenger Traffic Statistics by Airline. B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED Data is self-reported by airlines and is only available at a monthly level C. UPDATE PROCESS Data updated quarterly D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET Airport data is seasonal in nature, therefore any comparative analyses should be done on a period-over-period basis (i.e. January 2010 vs. January 2009) as opposed to period-to-period (i.e. January 2010 vs. February 2010). It is also important to note that fact and attribute field relationships are not always 1-to-1. For example, Passenger Counts belonging to United Airlines will appear in multiple attribute fields and are additive, which provides flexibility for the user to derive categorical Passenger Counts as desired.
Following the discovery of some duplicate figures in our raw data affecting the number of passengers that travelled on cruise and long sea journeys, revisions were made to the 2023 and 2021 figures in the latest Sea passenger statistics.
The revision made to the cruise and long sea passenger figures has had a minor effect on the total number of sea passengers for 2023 and 2021. This change has not affected the overall trends. Tables SPAS0101, SPAS0107 and SPAS0201 and the web release have been updated with the revised figures and charts.
Passenger vehicle numbers are available in the port freight data collection. See data tables with a cargo breakdown for this information (for example, tables PORT0201 to PORT0203).
