That describes the utilisation of all capacity, passenger and cargo. In theory, separate breakevens could be calculated for passenger and cargo but that would involve allocating costs between the two, by no means an exact science. If I recall correctly, a standard methodology used by IATA was abandoned because it regularly gave nonsense results for cargo.
oh how true, how true... even the "in-house" systems were never exactly wonderful.
