The table displays data on the number of passengers that rode the top seven US airlines between 1995 and 2005.
All seven airlines experienced substantial growth, with JetBlue having the highest growth rate. Delta Air Lines, however, had the most passengers overall in the given period.
Among the given airlines, one saw its numbers triple, while the figures of four other airlines more than doubled. JetBlue Airways experienced the highest growth rate of 249%. In 1995, 86,000 people rode JetBlue, tripling to 300,000 in 2005. Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, and Alaska Airlines came next in growth rate percentages with 150%, 127%, and 114%, respectively. Despite their high rates, their figures were all under 350,000 in 2005. Even though Delta Air Lines only had a 113% growth rate, it consistently had the most passengers in both years: 500,700 in 1995 and 1.064 million in 2005.
The growth rates of Southwest Airlines and United Airlines were not as high as the other companies, but they did transport many people in the given years. Four hundred thousand travelers took Southwest Airlines in 1995, growing to 640,000 a decade later, an improvement of 66%. Although United Airlines' growth rate was the lowest at 33%, its 400,000 travelers in 2005 were still much higher than the airlines with growth rates above 113%.
