Mandatory Quarterly Survey of Foreign Airline Operators’
Revenues and Expenses in the United States (BE-9)
First Quarter 2022: Due May 2, 2022
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is conducting the Quarterly Survey of Foreign Airline Operators’
Revenues and Expenses in the United States (BE-9), for the 1st quarter of 2022.
The Quarterly Survey of Foreign Airline Operators’ Revenues and Expenses in the United States is a mandatory
survey that collects data from U.S. offices, agents, or other representatives of foreign airline operators for use in
estimating the international transactions accounts of the United States. The information collected will be used to
help support U.S. international economic policy and to analyze the impact of that policy and the policies of
foreign countries on international trade in services. The information collected will be kept CONFIDENTIAL
and can only be used for statistical purposes.
The deadline for submitting the BE-9 survey form is May 2, 2022. A response is required whether or not you
have transactions to report. If you do not have transactions to report, please complete the form through the
exemption claim and submit it to BEA.
To ensure that your report is received as soon as possible, please consider filing electronically using our eFile
system (www.bea.gov/efile) or faxing your response to us at (301) 278-9505.
For assistance, please contact BEA staff at be-9help@bea.gov, (301) 278-9301, or send us a message through
BEA’s Secure Messaging System by logging into our eFile system at www.bea.gov/efile. Forms, reporting
requirements, and FAQs are available at www.bea.gov/ssb. Forms can also be obtained via autoreply by sending
a blank email to be-9@bea.gov.
Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Your response makes a difference in producing accurate and
objective statistics on the U.S. economy, including the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).
Sincerely,

Patricia Abaroa
Chief, Balance of Payments Division
