Mainline Passenger Revenue. Mainline passenger revenue increased primarily due to increased business demand for air travel and an increase in fares,
largely due to the strengthening of the airline industry revenue environment. During 2009, weakened demand for air travel from the global recession and the
effects of the H1N1 virus and related capacity reductions had a significant negative impact on our mainline passenger revenue.
•Domestic Passenger Revenue . Domestic passenger revenue increased 11% from a 9% increase in PRASM on a 0.3 point decrease in load factor
and a 2% increase in capacity. The passenger mile yield increased 9%, reflecting an increase in business travel and an increase in fares.
•International Passenger Revenue. International passenger revenue increased 22% from a 21% increase in PRASM and a 2.4 point increase in load
factor on a 1% increase in capacity. The passenger mile yield increased 17%, reflecting an increase in demand for air travel and an increase in fares.
Regional carriers. Passenger revenue of regional carriers increased 11% from a 13% increase in PRASM and a 1.0 point increase in load factor on a 2%
decline in capacity. The passenger mile yield increased 12%, reflecting an increase in demand for air travel and an increase in fares.
Cargo. Cargo revenue increased due to a 13% increase in yield and a 25% increase in volume, primarily in international markets, partially offset by
capacity reductions due to the retirement of our dedicated freighter aircraft in 2009.
Other. Other revenue increased due to higher baggage fee revenue from an increased volume of checked bags.
