A metric tonne of freight or mail carried one kilometre. Freight tonne-kilometres equal the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the number of tonnes of freight, express, diplomatic bags carried on each flight stage by the stage distance. Cargo and freight are used interchangeably and for ICAO statistical purposes freight includes express and diplomatic bags but not passenger baggage. Mail tonne-kilometres are computed in the same way as freight-tonne kilometres. 3, record 1, English, - mail%20tonne%2Dkilometre

Une tonne-kilomètre fret ou poste correspond à une tonne métrique transportée sur une distance d'un kilomètre. Le nombre de tonnes-kilomètres fret réalisées équivaut à la somme des produits du nombre de tonnes de fret, de messageries et de valises diplomatiques transportées sur chaque étape par la longueur de l'étape. Les termes «marchandises» et «fret» sont interchangeables et, aux fins de statistiques de l'OACI, le fret comprend les messageries et les valises diplomatiques, mais non les bagages des passagers. Le nombre de tonnes-kilomètres poste est calculé de la même manière que le nombre de tonnes-kilomètres fret. 3, record 1, French, - tonne%2Dkilom%C3%A8tre%20poste%20r%C3%A9alis%C3%A9e
