Resolve a Paradox
Last year Ranger Airways' annual report showed an increase in the number of revenue passenger miles (the total for all flights of the number of miles in each flight times the number of paying passengers in that flight). There were, however, declines in both the load factor-the percentage of available seats occupied- and the number of flights.
Which of the following, if true about Ranger Airways in the year reported on, would help most to resolve the apparent paradox between the increase in revenue passenger miles and the decreases in both load factor and number of flights?
