[edit] Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

The 2005 final statistics table has a column 2004 rank. In row 20. (Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, AMS), this column reads "N.A.". However, in the 2004 final statistics table, you can see that the AMS's rank was also 20. Is there a special reason that that has not been mentioned in the 2004-rank column? There is only a slight difference in the name ("Schiphol Airport" --- "Amsterdam Schiphol Airport"). As far as I know, this airport (whose original name was Schiphol) was officially renamed to "Amsterdam Airport" for international communications, because 'Schiphol' may be difficult to pronounce correctly. The name "Schiphol" was retained for domestic use. Anyway, it is the same airport. Johan Lont 16:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Data in article doesn't match the reference

The data in the 2006 table does not match the data in the referenced link. For example, the table has 980,386 departures for Hartsfield while the link has 976 447. Another example, the table has Phoenix in 29th place, the link has New York JFK as #29. I suspect the data on the linked page was updated from what it used to be. Can someone more familiar with airports than I am please correct this. Thanks. Truthanado 03:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial aircraft

Does the data include non-commercial aircraft movements? kawaputra^torque 04:31, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
