(DB1B).
DB1B provides data on the US domestic
aviation market. It is a very reliable source of data,
representing a 10% sample of origin-destination
passengers and air travel price for each airline on each
city-pair route (e.g. New York-Los Angeles). Quarterly
traffic and price data was taken for the period from
1994 Q1 to 2005 Q4 for the top 1000 city pair routes
(by traffic). Traffic figures reflect the actual number
of passengers on a particular route during the given
quarter, while average travel price reflects the estimated
average one-way price paid (in USD).
