Notes:
* Passenger airline operating revenue includes four other categories. 1) Transport-related is revenue from services which grow from and are incidental to the air transportation services performed by the air carrier. Examples are in-flight onboard sales (food, liquor, pillows, etc), code share revenues, revenues from associated businesses (aircraft maintenance, fuel sales, restaurants, vending machines, etc). 2) Miscellaneous operating revenue includes pet transportation, sale of frequent flyer award miles to airline business partners and standby passenger fees. 3) Cargo revenue from transporting cargo in belly of aircraft. 4) Mail revenue from transporting mail in belly of aircraft.
