Abstract: This report presents statistical information on aircraft activity and passenger and cargo traffic at California airports. Four main topics are considered: passenger enplanements, air travel origin and destination (O-D) patterns, aircraft operations, and air cargo. In each case, we present data for the state as a whole, major regions within the state, and major airports within each region. Most of the data are compiled on an annual basis for the years from 1980 to 1996.Enplanement activity in California is heavily concentrated, with a handful of airports accounting for the vast majority of the state total. The concentration has increased between 1980and 1996, during which time California’s enplanement growth mirrored national trends. However, within the multiple airport systems of the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California there is evidence of dispersion, as San Francisco International (SFO) and Los Angeles International (LAX) airports have lost market share to their smaller competitors.
