I see what you're saying, OK, but the revenue divided by the passengers isn't actually the fare, is it? If I understand it correctly, there are three main revenue streams:
A: what the passenger pays on the website when making the booking
+
B: what the passenger buys on board etc.
+
C: whatever support funding is made available from airports/regions etc
and it's the sum of A+B+C, divided by the number of passengers, which is £11 more for easyJet. C seems to be both completely non-transparent and also vulnerable to reduction in the future.
