GLOSSARY
Singapore Airlines
Revenue passenger-km = Number of passengers carried x distance fl own (in km)
Available seat-km = Number of available seats x distance fl own (in km)
Passenger load factor = Revenue passenger-km expressed as a percentage of available seat-km
Passenger yield = Passenger revenue from scheduled services divided by revenue passenger-km
Passenger unit cost = Operating expenditure (less bellyhold revenue from SIA Cargo) divided by available seat-km
Passenger breakeven load factor = Passenger unit cost expressed as a percentage of passenger yield. This is the theoretical load factor at
which passenger revenue equates to the operating expenditure (less bellyhold revenue from SIA Cargo)
SIA Cargo
Cargo load = Cargo and mail load carried (in tonnes) x distance fl own (in km)
Gross capacity = Cargo capacity production (in tonnes) x distance fl own (in km)
Cargo load factor = Cargo and mail load (in tonne-km) expressed as a percentage of gross capacity (in tonne-km)
Cargo yield = Cargo and mail revenue from scheduled services divided by cargo load (in tonne-km)
Cargo unit cost = Operating expenditure (including bellyhold expenditure to Singapore Airlines) divided by gross capacity (in tonne-km)
Cargo breakeven load factor = Cargo unit cost expressed as a percentage of cargo yield. This is the theoretical load factor at which
cargo revenue equates to the operating expenditure (including bellyhold expenditure to Singapore Airlines)
Singapore Airlines and SIA Cargo
Overall load = Total load carried (in tonnes) x distance fl own (in km)
Overall capacity = Total capacity production (in tonnes) x distance fl own (in km)
Overall load factor = Overall load (in tonne-km) expressed as a percentage of overall capacity (in tonne-km)
