How this figure is calculated
Air transport, freight (million ton-km) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Air transport, freight (million ton-km) ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Air transport, freight Civil Aviation Statistics of the World, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
