A revenue tonne-kilometre is generated when a metric tonne of revenue load is carried one kilometre. Where such load includes passenger load, the number of passengers is converted into weight load, usually by multiplying this number by 90 kilogrammes (to include baggage). The total tonne-kilometres performed equals the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the number of passengers, freight and mail loads carried on each flight stage by the stage distance.

Une tonne-kilomètre payante est réalisée lorsqu'une tonne métrique de charge payante est transportée sur une distance d'un kilomètre. Lorsque cette charge comprend une charge en passagers, on la convertit en une charge exprimée sous forme de poids, généralement en multipliant le nombre de passagers par 90 kilogrammes (pour inclure les bagages). Le nombre total de tonnes-kilomètres réalisées est égal à la somme des produits des charges de passagers, de fret et de poste transportées sur chaque étape par la longueur de l'étape.

Cuando una tonelada métrica de carga de pago recorre un kilómetro, se ha efectuado una tonelada-kilómetro. Cuando esa carga comprende la carga de pasajeros, el número de pasajeros se convierte en carga de peso, multiplicando por lo general esa cifra por 90 kilogramos (para incluir el equipaje). El total de toneladas-kilómetros efectuadas equivale a la suma de los productos obtenidos multiplicando las cargas de pasajeros, mercancías y correo de cada etapa de vuelo, por la distancia de dicha etapa.

OBS

tonelada-kilómetro de pago: término y definición aceptados oficialmente por la Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional (OACI).
