Data Notes

PDF Downloads

The statistics PDFs are protected and require browser-like requests to download. This skill uses Playwright to download PDFs, which may be slightly slower than direct HTTP requests but ensures reliable access.

Report Structure

Each monthly PDF contains 3 pages:

1. Page 1: Summary statistics - passengers, aircraft operations, cargo totals
2. Page 2: Carrier-specific passenger data - breakdown by airline
3. Page 3: Carrier-specific cargo/freight data

Year-over-Year Comparison

The reports include "previous" values for year-over-year comparison. These are typically the same month from the previous year.

Data Categories

Passengers:

• Domestic On: Passengers boarding domestic flights
• Domestic Off: Passengers deplaning domestic flights
• International On: Passengers boarding international flights
• International Off: Passengers deplaning international flights

Aircraft Operations:

• Air Carrier: Major airline operations
• Air Taxi: Regional/commuter operations
• General Aviation: Private/recreational flights

Rate Limiting & Caching

• The skill internally fetches the statistics page to find PDF URLs
• PDFs are downloaded on-demand and not cached
• Consider caching responses when frequently querying historical data
• Large PDFs (~250KB) may take a few seconds to download and parse
