AirCal Reports Increase in Revenue Passenger Miles
AirCal Monday said it flew 203.2 million revenue passenger miles during July, an increase of 26% over the 160.5 million revenue passenger miles the Newport Beach regional airline reported a year earlier. A revenue passenger mile is the equivalent of one paying passenger flying one mile.
Load factor, or the percentage of available seats occupied during July, fell to 51.8% from 55.5% during the like period of 1985.
For the first seven months of 1986, AirCal said its revenue passenger miles rose 20% to 1.2 billion. Load factor so far during 1986 was 54.1%, down from 58.2% in 1985.
