Product boundary

Domestic scheduled airline passenger traffic

Geographic boundary

United States domestic itineraries

Measurement basis

Carrier share of domestic scheduled passengers

Denominator

Passengers reported in the BTS domestic market-share table for the 12 months ending February 2026

Included

Named carriers and the published aggregate Other category

Excluded

Individual carriers inside Other are not separately identified

Method and limitations

Use sourced carrier passenger shares for top-firm and CR4 screens; withhold HHI while Other remains aggregated.

The aggregate Other row prevents a complete firm-level distribution and therefore prevents a publishable HHI.

Permanent comparison guardrail

The same 0-10,000 HHI scale does not make different product, geographic, or denominator definitions economically interchangeable. Cross-market HHI is a descriptive screen only.

Method standard

Open data needs public interpretation.

The API is a starting point, not a legal conclusion. Pair downloads with methodology notes, source records, and the data-gaps report when citing market concentration.
