ABOUT ATADS

Air Traffic Activity Data System


The Air Traffic Activity Data System (ATADS) contains traffic counts for towered airports, TRACONS, CERAPS, and centers.  Instrument approach counts are also maintained.  Daily, monthly and annual counts are available either by facility, state, region, service area or nationally. Data is available for the prior month by the 20th of each month.  Operations are drawn from the Operations Network (OPSNET) system which is the current official source for this data.  This system does not require a username and password to access.
