16. Direct transit passengers2 Eurostat, ICAO modified

17. Transfer or Indirect Transit passengers ACI modified

Any person, excluding on-duty members of the flight and cabin crews, who makes a journey by air.

A commercial passenger for whose transportation an air carrier receives commercial remuneration.

This definition includes, for example, (i) passengers travelling under publicly available promotional offers (for example “two-for-one”) or loyalty programmes (for redemption of frequent flier points); (ii) passengers travelling as compensation for denied boarding; (iii) passengers travelling corporate discounts; (iv) passengers travelling preferential fares (government, seamen, military, youth student etc.);

This definition excludes, for example, (i) persons travelling free; (ii) persons travelling at a fare or discount available only to employees of air carriers or their agents or only for the business of the carriers; (iii) infants who do not occupy a seat.

Passengers who, after a short stop, continue their air journey on the same aircraft on a flight having the same flight number as the flight on which they arrive. In airport statistics, passengers in direct transit are counted once only; passengers transferred to another aircraft are counted twice, once as disembarked and once as embarked.

On some flights, the flight number changes at an airport to designate the change between an inbound and outbound flight but with intermediate stops. An example is a flight from Barcelona to Hamburg where the flight continues to Frankfurt before returning to Barcelona. Where passengers for an intermediate destination continue their journey on the same aircraft in such circumstances, they should be counted as direct transit passengers.

Passengers arriving and departing on a different aircraft within 24 hours, or on the same aircraft bearing different flight numbers. They are counted TWICE: once upon arrival and once on departure.

On some flights, the flight number changes at an airport to designate the change between an inbound and outbound flight but with intermediate stops. An example is a flight from Barcelona to Hamburg where the flight continues to Frankfurt before returning to Barcelona. Where passengers for an intermediate destination continue their journey on the same aircraft in such circumstances, they should not be counted as transfer or indirect transit passengers.

Terminating passengers arriving at the reporting airport by air and arriving transfer or indirect transit passengers.

Terminating passengers leaving the reporting airport by air or departing transfer or indirect transit passengers.

All passengers leaving the aircraft at the reporting airport, including connecting passengers who disembark and reboard continuing their air journey in a different aircraft. Direct transit passengers are also to be counted.

All passengers joining the aircraft at the reporting airport, including connecting passengers who disembark and reboard continuing their air journey in a different aircraft. Direct transit passengers are also to be counted.

Traffic on a given flight with the same flight number subdivided by airport pairs in accordance with point of embarkation and point of disembarkation on that flight.

For passengers, freight or mail where the airport of embarkation is not known the aircraft origin should be deemed to be the point of embarkation; similarly if the airport of disembarkation is not known the aircraft destination should be deemed to be the point of disembarkation.

The revenue load of passengers, baggage, freight and mail carried in the aircraft as measured in metric tonnes.

The number of passengers carried is obtained by counting each passenger on a particular flight (with one flight number) once only.

On some flights, the flight number changes at an airport to designate the change between an inbound and outbound flight but with intermediate stops. An example is a flight from Barcelona to Hamburg where the flight continues to Frankfurt before returning to Barcelona. Where passengers for an intermediate destination continue their journey on the same aircraft in such circumstances, they should not be counted twice because of the change of flight number.

25. Purpose of passenger journey ISWG modified

The reasons for undertaking a journey are:

(a) Leisure, recreation and holidays

(b) Visiting friends and relatives

(c) Business and professional

32. Revenue freight2 IATA

Personal property of passengers and crew loaded or carried on board an aircraft by agreement with the operator

Any property carried on an aircraft other than mail, stores and baggage. For statistical purposes, freight includes express freight and parcels and diplomatic bags but not passenger baggage. All freight, whether carried on passenger flights or on all-cargo services, should be included. All trucking operations using an air waybill should be excluded.

Is the total freight loaded on an aircraft where the next destination is located outside the territory of the State (country) in which the air journey begins, or freight unloaded from an aircraft that has to pass through a customs facility to enter the State (country). All trucking operations using an air waybill should be excluded.

The sum of the total freight and mail, both loaded and unloaded, at the reporting airport. All trucking operations using an air waybill should be excluded.

39. Revenue mail2 IATA

Revenue freight is defined as all air freight for which any charge is made. The weight of a container should always be considered as revenue freight when travelling on a commercial air waybill. All freight, whether carried on passenger flights or on all-cargo services, should be included. All trucking operations using an air waybill should be excluded.

Direct transit freight is freight, which continues its journey on the same aircraft on a flight having the same flight number as the flight on which it arrived. Direct transit freight is not unloaded and reloaded at an airport it directly transits.

On some flights, the flight number changes at an airport to designate the change between an inbound and outbound flight but with intermediate stops. An example is a flight from Barcelona to Hamburg where the flight continues to Frankfurt before returning to Barcelona. Where freight for an intermediate destination continues its journey on the same aircraft in such circumstances, it should be counted as direct transit freight.

The number of tonnes of freight carried is obtained by counting each tonne of freight on a particular flight (with one flight number) once only. The same principle should be used in calculating mail tonnes carried.The weight of a container should always be considered as revenue freight when travelling on a commercial air waybill.

On some flights, the flight number changes at an airport to designate the change between an inbound and outbound flight but with intermediate stops. An example is a flight from Barcelona to Hamburg where the flight continues to Frankfurt before returning to Barcelona. Where freight for an intermediate destination continues its journey on the same aircraft in such circumstances, it should be counted twice because of the change of flight number.

All freight on board during each flight stage, including freight loaded and direct transit freight.

All freight and mail on board during each flight stage, including freight and mail loaded and direct transit freight and mail.

Dispatches of correspondence and other objects carried on an aircraft, which have been dispatched by and intended for delivery to postal administrations.

Direct transit mail is mail, which continues its journey on the same aircraft on a flight having the same flight number as the flight on which it arrived. Direct transit mail is not unloaded and reloaded at an airport it directly transits.

On some flights, the flight number changes at an airport to designate the change between an inbound and outbound flight but with intermediate stops. An example is a flight from Barcelona to Hamburg where the flight continues to Frankfurt before returning to Barcelona. Where mail for an intermediate destination continues its journey on the same aircraft in such circumstances, it should be counted as direct transit mail.

All mail on board during each flight stage, including mail loaded and direct transit mail.

Is the total mail loaded on an aircraft where the next destination is located outside the territory of the State (country) in which the air journey begins, or mail unloaded from an aircraft that has to pass through a customs facility to enter the State (country).

One passenger unit is equivalent to one passenger or 75 kilogrammes of freight or mail.

International bodies, governments and airlines use other weight criteria. ICAO for example advocates a weight of 90 kilogrammes while the German administration uses 100 kilogrammes. Airlines use service specific weights to reflect the differences between short haul and long haul flights.

Conversion factors adopted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) for 1991 are the following:
