Overview

ASQP main2.jpg
The Airline Service Quality Performance System (ASQP) provides information about airline on-time performance, flight delays, and cancellations. It is based on reports filed by airlines each month with the Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (Office of Airline Information), as described in 14 CFR Part 234 of DOT's regulations. Starting in CY 2018, air carriers with .5 percent or more of total domestic scheduled service passenger revenues are required to report on time performance data for their flights. Prior to 2018, the reporting threshold was 1 percent of total domestic scheduled passenger carrier revenues. The regulation also provides for the voluntary reporting of a carrier's entire domestic system and voluntary reporting by other carriers. See ASQP: Carrier Codes and Names for a list of the reporting carriers.

The reporting carriers have uniformly elected to report their total domestic system operations.

ASQP covers nonstop scheduled-service flights between points within the United States (including territories) by the eighteen (18) U.S. air carriers that have at least one percent of total domestic scheduled-service passenger revenues, and the one (1) carrier that currently reports flight delay data voluntarily.

ASQP data are available within 60 days after the end of the month; i.e., June data are available no later than September 1.

The ASQP system has three views: Operations by Airport, Operations by City Pair, and Cancellations. Unregistered users can view Operations by Airport data. A login is required to access other parts of ASQP.

ASQP data can be viewed on the FAA Operations & Performance Data Web site.

For a complete overview of the ASQP system, see Airline Service Quality Performance (ASQP).
