Key Terms

revenue passenger miles, available seat miles, load factor
3 terms
revenue passenger miles technical
"“RPMs” Revenue Passenger Miles represent one revenue-passenger transported one mile."
Revenue passenger miles measure the total distance traveled by paying passengers on a transportation service, calculated by multiplying the number of paying passengers by the miles they travel. It shows how much revenue-generating activity a transportation company is doing, helping investors assess how well the company is attracting and serving passengers. Higher revenue passenger miles typically indicate stronger demand and better financial performance.
available seat miles technical
"“ASMs” Available Seat Miles represent the number of available seats multiplied by the distance flown."
Available seat miles measure the total capacity of an airline to carry passengers, calculated by multiplying the number of seats available on all flights by the distance those flights cover. It indicates how much space an airline has to generate revenue from passenger travel. For investors, higher available seat miles generally suggest a larger operation and potential for increased earnings.
load factor technical
"“Load Factor” equals the number of passengers transported as a percentage of the number of seats offered."
Load factor is a measure of how efficiently a transportation service, such as a plane, train, or bus, fills its available seats or space over a period of time. It is calculated by dividing the actual number of passengers or usage by the total available capacity. A higher load factor indicates better utilization, which can lead to more profitable operations and is important for investors assessing the efficiency and profitability of transportation companies.
