How this figure is calculated

Air transport, passengers carried 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, passengers carried ÷ GDP (current US$)

Computed from

Air transport, passengers carried 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.
