Key Highlights
The airlines industry comprises passenger air transportation, including both scheduled and chartered, but excludes air freight transport. Industry volumes are defined as the total number of revenue passengers carried/enplaned (departures) at all airports within the specified country or region, excluding transit passengers who arrive and depart on the same flight code. For the US and Canada, transborder passengers departing from either country are considered as part of the international segment. Industry value is defined as the total revenue obtained by airlines from transporting these passengers. This avoids the double-counting of passengers. All currency conversions in this profile were carried out using constant 2016 average annual exchange rates.

The UK airlines industry had total revenues of $16,545.6m in 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.6% between 2012 and 2016.

Industry volume increased with a CAGR of 3.5% between 2012 and 2016, to reach a total of 126,781.9 thousand passengers in 2016.

Fluctuations in the value of the UK industry are not sourced from the passengers' traffic that has been constantly growing since 2013, but from intense competition among air carriers that has driven prices down.
