Percent
Increase
2010 2009 (Decrease)
(In millions)
Operating revenues:
Mainline passenger $ 7,645 $ 6,752 13.2
Express passenger 2,821 2,503 12.7
Cargo 149 100 48.8
Other 1,440 1,254 14.8
Total operating revenues $ 12,055 $ 10,609 13.6
Total operating revenues in 2010 were $12.06 billion as compared to $10.61 billion in 2009, an increase of $1.45 billion or 13.6%.
Significant changes in the components of operating revenues are as follows:
• Mainline passenger revenues were $7.65 billion in 2010, an increase of $893 million from 2009. Mainline RPMs increased 1.9%
as mainline capacity, as measured by ASMs, increased 1.2%, resulting in a 0.5 point increase in load factor to 82.4%. Mainline
passenger yield increased 11.1% to 12.96 cents in 2010 from 11.66 cents in 2009. Mainline PRASM increased 11.9% to 10.68
cents in 2010 from 9.55 cents in 2009. These increases in mainline yield and PRASM were due principally to the strengthened
pricing environment driven by the improved economy and continued industry capacity discipline.
• Express passenger revenues were $2.82 billion in 2010, an increase of $318 million from 2009. Express RPMs increased 0.4% as
Express capacity, as measured by ASMs, decreased 1%, resulting in a one point increase in load factor to 74.6%. Express
passenger yield increased 12.2% to 26.57 cents in 2010 from 23.68 cents in 2009. Express PRASM increased 13.8% to 19.83 cents
in 2010 from 17.42 cents in 2009. The increases in Express yield and PRASM were the result of the same strengthened pricing
environment discussed in mainline passenger revenues above.
• Cargo revenues were $149 million in 2010, an increase of $49 million, or 48.8%, from 2009. The increase in cargo revenues was
driven primarily by an increase in international freight volume as a result of the improved economic environment.
• Other revenues were $1.44 billion in 2010, an increase of $186 million, or 14.8%, from 2009. Ancillary revenues, principally
checked bag fees, comprised approximately half of the increase. The remaining increase is primarily related to higher revenues
associated with US Airways' frequent flyer program, including increased marketing revenues related to miles sold to business
partners and increased revenues from partner airline frequent flyer award redemptions on US Airways.
