(a) Where freight and passenger traffic are both measured in tonnekilometres
(b) Covers the non-scheduled traffic of scheduled airlines and non-scheduled operators.
PAX: Passengers carried; Note: this refers to flight segments. i.e. each time a passenger boards an airplane. and not to the number
of trips. A return trip involves at least 2 counts. and more if it is through a hub.
RPK: Revenue passenger-kilometres (RPK with one RPK representing one paying passenger transported over one kilometre)
LF: Load factor. The amount of revenue passenger-kilometres divided by the number of passenger kilometres available (ASK)
