How do I download large files from TranStats?

Answer

TranStats downloads of airline Origin and Destination Survey and On-Time data may be larger than the number of rows allowed by older versions of Microsoft Excel

  • Microsoft Access can be used to open ​and aggregate data. See the attached instructions for more information. Note: If you are trying to calculate RPM's, ASM's, etc., you can't aggregate or you will get a total that's too large
  • Access videos and tutorials provided by Microsoft 
  • You may also want to use pivot tables in Excel to aggregate the data.
