Industry volume is defined as the total number of seats sold by airlines registered in a particular country or region. Industry value is defined as the total airline revenue generated from passenger traffic. It is calculated by multiplying the average revenue per passenger by the number of seats sold.
- The market segments include charter, low-cost, and full-service airlines. Charter airline is hired by a group or single customer for leisure or business purposes, or as an air ambulance, and flies outside normal schedules.

To recover the revenue lost in reduced ticket prices, the airlines may charge for additional facilities such as priority boarding, seat allocation, food, and baggage. Full-service airlines generally have higher fares, operate long-distance routes, and offer a complete range of in-flight services.
