I was looking at faremeasure.com to see what kind of daily outgoing passengers IND had. I'm not sure where they get their numbers because according to them IND has 17,553 daily outgoing passengers. Figuring these people have to come back home I double that for the daily O/D of 35,106. The 35,106 x 365 days = 12,813,690. That doesn't remotely sound right. I pulled the numbers for CVG and their daily outgoing was 10.347 which is 20,694 daily O/D or 20.694 x 365 = 7,553,310. This is the domestic O/D and the CVG numbers look right but the IND numbers do not.

I mean I seriously doubt that IND did 8 mil last year and is on pace to do nearly 13 mil this year. Anyone else want to give the IND totals a shot? I sorted the destinations by passengers and then copied each page into excel. I then ran a total of the passenger column. BTW when you paste this into excel make sure to use paste-special to keep all the data from being put into one cell.

Dude, you have way too much time on your hands. But seriously, did you figure out what the correct figure is?

Never did. The DOT website where it looks like the numbers come from indicate the passenger data is between city pairs and not just from IND to a city. So that would mean the number was half what I posted which is way too low considering IND hit 8 mil last year. And it would put CVG way too low as well. So at this point I have no idea.
