It is a similar measure to ASM's, but it accounts for cargo capacities and also accounts for different seating configs/numbers in aircraft types so that flying between AF/KL/AZ and DL can be effectively compared to preserve the 50/50 flying split.

I left out the "available" part, it should have been EASK.
EASK: equivalent available seat kilometers: capacity adjusted for seat density and cargo capacity.
Long story short, AirFranceKLM are still above 2010 levels capacity wise for the Americas, that should bode well for Delta's next summer flying push and ergo the next AE...
