Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation

NAICS 481211 · Federal Contracts & Awards

USAspending.gov tags $2,052,980,033.93 to Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation (NAICS 481211) in fiscal year 2025. About twenty-eight percent of this chartered-air extract sits on FY2025. A sibling FY2024 481211 join is a different year cell. Chartered passenger air is not air traffic control (488111). That pair is Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation (NAICS 481211) and federal fiscal year 2025 — not every federal dollar in FY2025, not Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation's $7,400,992,185.52 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 27.7% of this industry's published obligation total. 8,421 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2025-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

Key figures

  • Chartered Passenger Air in FY2025: $2,052,980,033.93 in USAspending obligations (NAICS 481211).
  • That cell is 27.7% of the industry's $7,400,992,185.52 extract-wide total.
  • 8,421 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2025 census.
  • NAICS 481211 × FY2025 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a named-recipient list.
  • Cite USAspending.gov; quote NAICS 481211 and FY2025 federal spending if live tables moved.

What the Chartered Passenger Air–FY2025 yearlyTrend cell holds

NAICS 481211 and fiscal year 2025 meet here. $2,052,980,033.93 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation's nationwide all-year total of $7,400,992,185.52, not every federal dollar coded to FY2025, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split aircraft types or routes, or contract from assistance. 8,421 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a flight log, a passenger census, or a named-carrier roster.

Open /industries/481211/ (NAICS 481211) for the industry table without this FY2025 filter, /fiscal-years/2025/ (FY2025 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $2,052,980,033.93. Cite chartered passenger air with FY2025 here. Keep 481211 off the 488111 ATC cell.

FY2025 beside the Chartered Passenger Air longer book

USAspending labels NAICS 481211 as Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation. That code produced $2,052,980,033.93 when crossed with fiscal year 2025. The industry-wide 481211 hub does not require a FY2025 filter. The year hub does not require Chartered Passenger Air. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split aircraft types or routes, or contract from assistance. FY2025 incompleteness applies. Aircraft-type and route splits are unpublished.

Correlation is not causation: FY2025 did not cause $2,052,980,033.93 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 481211 × FY2025 only. This cell is not a flight log, a passenger census, or a named-carrier roster. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. Eight thousand four hundred twenty-one industry-extract awards describe 481211 across years, not a FY2025 flight or passenger census.

Questions

How much Chartered Passenger Air spending is obligated in FY2025?
USAspending.gov lists $2,052,980,033.93 in Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation (NAICS 481211) obligations for FY2025. That yearlyTrend amount is 27.7% of the industry's $7,400,992,185.52 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2025. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Is $2,052,980,033.93 the entire Chartered Passenger Air USAspending total?
No. NAICS 481211's extract-wide total is $7,400,992,185.52. FY2025 is 27.7% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add NAICS 481211 into this join. 8,421 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
Is $2,052,980,033.93 cash already paid in FY2025?
No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $2,052,980,033.93 as checks already cleared in FY2025 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
Where is the live Chartered Passenger Air–FY2025 table?
NAICS 481211 is the industry parent and FY2025 federal spending is the year parent. All industries covers every industry without the NAICS×year intersection as the headline. All spending ties lists other pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $2,052,980,033.93.
