Dec. 6 American manufacturers, wholesalers, and other selected industries shipped nearly 12.5 billion tons of goods valued at more than $14.3 trillion in 2017, according to preliminary numbers from the 2017 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS). Truck shipments of manufactured goods, raw and refined products, and other goods represent more than 70 percent of both the value and the weight of freight as reported in the 2017 CFS. The CFS covers about three-fourths of all U.S. freight movements, excluding imports, shipments from farms, crude oil production, and a few smaller categories. The CFS, conducted every five years The CFS provides a multimodal picture of national freight flows and represents the only publicly available source of data for the highway mode.
Dec. 6 U.S. airlines October fuel cost was $2.35 per gallon, up 11 cents from September ($2.24) and up 53 cents from October 2017 ($1.82). Industry summary of airline fuel consumption, total fuel cost and price paid per gallon are available on the database. Individual airline numbers through June are available on the BTS website.
Dec. 7 U.S. airlines October employment (725,713 total full-time and part-time)), up 0.4pct from September and up 3.5pct from October 2017 (passenger+cargo). Monthly full-time and part-time employment statistics are reported by U.S. airlines that operate at least one aircraft that has more than 60 seats or the capacity to carry a payload of passengers, cargo and fuel weighing more than 18,000 pounds.
Dec. 10 U.S. scheduled passenger airlines reported total after-tax net profit $3.8B in the third quarter of 2018, up from $3.4B in the second quarter and from $3.7B in the third quarter of 2017. The airlines reported 22 straight quarters of after-tax net profits and 30 straight quarters of pre-tax operating profit. Additional financial numbers for all airlines are available on the BTS financial databases.
Dec. 12 The Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI), which is based on the amount of freight carried by the for-hire transportation industry, rose 2.0 percent in October from September, rising for the second consecutive month to reach a new all-time high. The index rose 7.3 percent from October 2017. The October Freight TSI was 1.8 percent above the previous all-time high reached in June 2018.
Dec. 13 U.S. airlines carried an estimated 74.1 million systemwide (domestic and international) scheduled service passengers, seasonally-adjusted, in November 2018, virtually unchanged from the October estimate. The air traffic estimate released is a statistical estimate based on U.S. airlines reported data through August. In unadjusted reported data for September, systemwide, domestic and international enplanements all reached all-time highs for any month.
Dec. 14 BTS reported that U.S. scheduled passenger airlines employed 2.5 percent more workers in October 2018 than in October 2017:

The reporting carriers posted an on-time arrival rate of 82.6 percent, up from the 82.2 percent on-time rate in September 2018 and down from 84.8 percent in October 2017. Reporting carriers canceled 0.7 percent of their scheduled domestic flights, a lower rate than 1.4 percent in September 2018 and equal to 0.7 percent in October 2017.
Transportation Economic Trends 2018 is an annual report highlighting important trends in transportation and the economy. The three released chapters cover transportation's contribution to the economy, transportation employment, and transportation assets and infrastructure. The chapters report that wholesale and retail trade used the most transportation services of any non-transportation sector in 2016 at $277.9 billion (out of $950.7 billion total) and required 9.0 cents of transportation services to produce one dollar of output. BTS had previously released chapters that cover the Transportation Services Index, a monthly summary of freight and passenger movement, and government transportation spending and revenue.
