The Airline Passenger Survey was planned to be carried out during both a summer and a fall wave in 2001. However, the summer fieldwork was interrupted on September 11th, 2001 resulting in cancellation of the proposed fall 2001 wave. Funding was ultimately used to conduct another survey in the summer of 2002, scheduled to replicate closely the summer 2001 survey. The primary purpose and use of the series of departing passenger surveys has been for ground access planning. Only departing air passengers waiting in the gate lounge area to board were surveyed. Self-completion questionnaires were collected before departure or mailed back in some cases.
