Cargo Question

Post by **joefremont** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 7:34 am

Hi have a question about Cargo income, first the facts. Below is some data from some PSV flights.

Income from tickets: PAX ( 159 ) x Ticketprice ( 173v$ ) 27507v$
Cargo income: 0.43v$/100nm x Distance ( 1293nm ) x Cargo ( 1083kg ) 6073v$

Income from tickets: PAX ( 159 ) x Ticketprice ( 217v$ ) 34503v$
Cargo income: 0.33v$/100nm x Distance ( 1822nm ) x Cargo ( 1083kg ) 6477v$

Income from tickets: PAX ( 0 ) x Ticketprice ( 173v$ ) 0v$
Cargo income: 0.13v$/100nm x Distance ( 1293nm ) x Cargo ( 18600kg ) 30176v$

Income from tickets: PAX ( 0 ) x Ticketprice ( 217v$ ) 0v$
Cargo income: 0.09v$/100nm x Distance ( 1822nm ) x Cargo ( 18600kg ) 32185v$

Income from tickets: PAX ( 142 ) x Ticketprice ( 116v$ ) 16472v$
Cargo income: 0.62v$/100nm x Distance ( 591nm ) x Cargo ( 3285kg ) 12047v$

Income from tickets: PAX ( 175 ) x Ticketprice ( 92v$ ) 16100v$
Cargo income: 1.08v$/100nm x Distance ( 294nm ) x Cargo ( 907kg ) 2870v$

You will note that the cargo price ranges from 0.09v$/100nm to 1.08v$/100nm. My Question is how is this price calculated as it seams pretty unpredicable. Before you ask, the flights with the same distances were flown between the same airports.

What are the departure and destination airports? They mean a lot for price.

The first and third sets of data were between shannon and goose bay, the second and fourth were between goose bay and ohare. So you can see there is a wide range of rates for flights between the same airports.

#6 KLAX to KSFO
