Line 13:
Specifically, the load factor is the [[Dimensionless quantity|dimensionless]] ratio of [[passenger-kilometre]]s travelled to seat-kilometres available. For example, say that on a particular day an airline makes 5 scheduled flights, each of which travels 200 kilometers and has 100 seats, and sells 60 tickets for each flight. To calculate its load factor:
<math>\frac{(5\ \text{flights})(200\ \text{km/flight})(60\ \text{passengers})}{(5\ \text{flights})(200\ \text{km/flight})(100\ \text{seats})} = \frac{60,000\ \text{passenger }\cdot\text{ km} }{100,000\ \text{seat }\cdot\text{ km}} = 0.6 = 60\%</math>
Thus, during that day the airline flew 60,000 passenger-kilometres and 100,000 seat-kilometres, for an overall load factor of 60% (0.6).
