Effect of Fuel Prices Airline Network Structure
{"Image DocumentName": "Effect of Fuel Prices Airline Network Structure", "Image ImageDescription": "Chart 1 shows that the delta between ASMs and RPMs (ASM \u2013 RPM) was steadily reduced from 2001 to This is also reflected by load factor (RPM/ASM) with a steadily increasing trend. These relationships, in combination with a decrease in fuel consumption shown in chart 4, and in light of increasing fuel costs over the same period, indicate that fleet and/or network changes were made. Increased load factor can result from use of smaller aircraft (less seats available for some given passenger demand) or reduction of number of flights between points A and B. Decrease in fuel consumption could also result from smaller aircraft, less flights, and/or route changes (smaller distances flown or fewer routes).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
