REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS

Average payload capacity (tonnes) (Column h). For each type of aircraft, report the average total payload

capacity available during the year, above and below deck, for the carriage of revenue load (passengers,

baggage, freight and mail) taking into account payload restrictions, where applicable, and operational

restrictions on the supply of capacity. The average payload capacity (expressed in metric tonnes to the

nearest tenth of a tonne) is calculated by dividing the total tonne-kilometres available for the year for

each aircraft type by the corresponding number of aircraft kilometres flown.

Average MCTOM (tonnes) (Column i). For each type of aircraft, report the average maximum certificated

take-off mass (MCTOM) (in metric tonnes) according to the certificate of airworthiness, the flight manual

or other official documents. Aircraft mass should be reported in metric tonnes to the nearest tenth of a

tonne.

Utilization of aircraft during the year (Columns j to s)

For the purposes of reporting air carrier fleet utilization statistics to ICAO, all operational items are to be

reported for the operating carrier, including data for code-shared, franchised, pooled, blocked-off charter,

blocked-space arrangements, joint services and leased aircraft services (see definitions below). In this

context the term operating carrier refers to that carrier whose flight number is being used for air traffic control

purposes.

Statistics on the number of aircraft departures, aircraft hours flown and aircraft kilometres flown are to be

reported under the categories shown below. If the exact data are not available, provide estimates if possible,

and place an asterisk (*) immediately following the estimated figure.

Revenue flights

Scheduled. Flights scheduled and performed for remuneration according to a published timetable, or so

regular or frequent as to constitute a recognizably systematic series, which are open to direct booking

by members of the public; and extra section flights occasioned by overflow traffic from scheduled flights.

Non-scheduled. Flights, other than those reported under scheduled flights, that are performed on an

irregular basis for remuneration including empty flights related thereto, inclusive tours, and blocked-off

charters.

All flights (total)

All flights, including both revenue and non-revenue flights (e.g. testing, training and other such flights).

Number of aircraft departures (Columns j, k and l). In Columns j and k, report the number of departures

for scheduled and non-scheduled revenue flights, respectively. In Column l, report the total number of aircraft

departures (equivalent to the number of flight stages flown) for both revenue and non-revenue flights.

Aircraft hours flown (Columns m, n and o). In Columns m and n, report the number of hours flown for

scheduled and non-scheduled revenue flights, respectively. In Column o, report the total number of hours

flown for both revenue and non-revenue flights. Aircraft hours should be reported to the nearest hour based

on “block-to-block” time (i.e. from the moment the aircraft is pushed back from the gate or starts taxiing from

its parking stand for take-off to the moment it comes to a final stop at a gate or parking stand after landing).

If a different basis is used, indicate that under “Remarks”.

Aircraft kilometres flown (Columns p, q and r). In Columns p and q, report the number of kilometres flown

(i.e. the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the number of flight stages flown by the corresponding

stage distance) for scheduled and non-scheduled revenue flights, respectively. In column r, report the total

aircraft kilometres flown, both revenue and non-revenue, for all flight stages flown.

Total aircraft days available (Column s). Aircraft days available is the sum of the number of days each

aircraft is available for use during the period in question. The following days should be excluded from the

days available:

— the days between the date of purchase of an aircraft and the date it is actually placed in service;

— the days subsequent to an aircraft’s last revenue flight and prior to its disposal;

— the days that an aircraft is out of service due to major accidents or conversion;

— the days that an aircraft is in the possession of others;

— the days that an aircraft is not available because of government action such as grounding by

government regulatory agencies.

All other days must be considered as days available, even days required for maintenance or overhaul.
