Abstract: The Department of Transportation (DOT) relies on the Part 234 On-Time, Mishandled Baggage and Denied Boarding reporting systems. The DOT monitors and studies the movement of aircraft and passengers through the national air space system to ensure safe and efficient operations. DOT is committed to guide and oversee America’s air transportation system today and into the future by taking note of statistical trends that identify airport utilization. DOT is committed to developing transportation policies and programs that contribute to providing fast, safe, efficient and convenient transportation at the lowest cost. On-Time data are used in assessing long-term air traffic control and airport development needs. Air traffic delays cost the airline industry, air travelers and the government billions of dollars each year. Economic growth prospers when the real economic cost of transportation is reduced. DOT recognizes that the collection and dissemination of on-time data are critical to identifying and solving air congestion problems. DOT performs an essential role as a catalyst for improving the quality of decisions affecting the transportation sector. In this role, DOT serves as a facilitator by proving better information to both the public and private sectors. Therefore the Bureau of Transportation Statistic’s Office of Airline Information would like to provide more real time data with the collection and request the air carriers submit their data 15 days after the end of the reporting period. These due dates will enable collection, management, integration, and distribution of more transportation information in less time with better accuracy and broader application DOT’s information systems are being integrated into agency activities, especially a coordinated effort by the Bureau of the Office of Secretary, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and the Inspector General Office to reduce airline delays.
