Cost per passenger per mile

[PaperTiger]

I think 7322 was quoting in US dollars (.07 = 7 cents which is in the ballpark). Of course a manufacturer's quote of a 'target' CASM is liable to be quite different from an operator's actual CASM once the airplane is in service.

This might help understand the factors involved.

* CASM - cost per available seat mile
* kerosene or paraffin if you prefer
