That's revenue. You'd need the cost and then divide the two for profit.
(Im doing that right arent I?)
Edit: Passenger Revenue per Available Seat Mile is a common measure of an Airline’s “unit revenue” or how much profit the Airline is making for each unit of capacity. It is calculated by dividing passenger revenue by available seat miles. Typically the measure is presented in terms of cents per mile. This measure is equivalent to the product of load factor and yield
So maybe thats a good measure. Everything i saw was margin and that was a year ago based (im almost sure) on data from 2 ye ago or more
