How much of that "fuel per passenger" metric comes from simply packing passengers tighter?
- Retric 2y agoOn net close to 0. Roughly 50% the cargo holds of passenger aircraft are now taken up by air freight which adds quite a bit of drag and isn’t part of those comparisons and offsets the reduction in passenger legroom. That freight also helps explain why nearly empty flights can make sense economically.
