1. The Revenue Passenger Kilometre (RPK) allows us to measure:
Airline productivity
Airline profitability
Airline total revenue

A measure of the average revenue received for carrying one passenger one kilometre is called:
Yield
Profit
Unit revenue
Unit capacity

operating costs
passenger revenue
passenger traffic
load factor
In terms of Freight Tonne Kilometres, which area of the world occupies the leading position

According to IATA statistics for 2011, the greatest amount of cargo was transported domestically.
Why does air cargo transportation generate larger profit margins than passenger transportation?
Because cargo service is less costly
Because cargo airport taxes are generally lower
Because cargo airplanes are more fuel efficientl
Because cargo load factor is greater
Airlines lease aircraft in order to avoid paying large sums of money upfront for the aircraft.
Profits and______are critical for the airline's ability to repay debt and reinvest in its development

Lower IT expenses
Increase in check-in option
Maximisation of load factors
Currently there are three main airline alliances in the world: One-world, Sky Team and:

Government regulation is too rigid
Alliances have a monopoly on specific routes
