How this figure is calculated
Air transport, passengers carried divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Air transport, passengers carried ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Air transport, passengers carried Civil Aviation Statistics of the World, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
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.
