Airline Yield Formula

AY = RP / PM

Variables:

  • AY is the Airline Yield ($/mile)
  • RP is the revenue generated from passengers ($)
  • PM is the passenger miles

To calculate Airline Yield, divide the revenue generated from passengers by the total passengers miles. The passenger miles is calculated by multiply the number of passengers by the distance of the flight.

How to Calculate Airline Yield?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Airline Yield.

  1. First, determine the revenue generated from passengers ($). 
  2. Next, determine the passenger miles. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = AY = RP / PM.
  4. Finally, calculate the Airline Yield.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
