Previously, we had projected that U.S. commercial carriers would serve a billion passengers by 2023. The activity of 2010 has pushed that milestone forward two years to 2021. As the economy continues to recover, passenger and operations totals also will continue to climb. Just as was the case last year, we expect that international markets will again continue to grow faster than domestic markets. Large airports will continue to outpace their smaller counterparts. We continue to project that the numbers of larger regional jets flying will increase, while most of the smaller regional jets are retired from the fleet. We project substantial growth in both demand and activity. 550 million more passengers will be on U.S. carriers by 2031 than in 2010. Trafficrevenue passenger mileswill more than double over the next 20 years.
