The FAA's count is the general-aviation aircraft kept on the field (singles, twins, business jets, helicopters) from its Terminal Area Forecast, the latest year with an actual count; airline fleets are never counted as based anywhere, so a big airline airport shows a small number. The register section below shows how many aircraft are registered to owners in town, a different measure again.
Takeoffs and landings a year about 132,630, the FAA's fiscal year 2024 (October 2023 to September 2024)
Takeoffs and landings, as a table

| airline | 2 |
| air taxi and commuter | 5,793 |
| general aviation, travelling | 64,152 |
| general aviation, local | 62,564 |
| military | 119 |
Local flights stay in the traffic pattern or nearby, often practice; travelling flights arrive from or leave for somewhere else. Counts at airports without a tower are the FAA's estimates. How this compares nationally: Airports by the numbers.
