Aviation

The Aviation statistics series provides information on the following topics:

Activity at UK airports, including number of flights, passengers and volume of freight handled; punctuality at and mode of travel to selected airports are also given.
Activity by UK airlines, including distance flown, passengers uplifted, seat occupancy, fleet size and employment
Summary statistics for major international airports and airlines;
Casualties caused by aviation and air proximity incidents
Public attitudes to aviation and airport expansion
Passenger experience of air travel, including security screening

Most of these statistics are collected by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and other organisations external to the Department for Transport.

All the results in the Aviation statistics series are outside the scope of National Statistics. The majority of tables are updated annually but data on public attitudes to aviation are collected and published on an ad hoc basis.

Statistics on emissions from aviation are available under the ‘Energy and the Environment’ series
