Djerba...that's because it doesn't.

Yield is amount earned per seat or per mile or whatever measure you want to use.

Load factor is the amount of seats you fill.

Revenue is the combination of the above 2 factors.

The only thing that really matters to an airline is contribution.

Contribution over and above variable and fixed costs equals profit margin.
