The number of tonnes of freight carried is obtained by counting each tonne of freight on a particular flight (with one flight number) once only and not repeatedly on each individual stage of the flight. The only exception to this is for freight flown on both the international and domestic stages of the same flight, which is considered in computation both as a domestic and an international shipment or dispathch. The same principle should be used in calculating mail tonnes carried. 1, record 7, English, - freight%20tonnes%20carried

Pour calculer le nombre de tonnes de fret transportées, on compte chaque tonne de fret d’un vol donné(correspondant à un numéro de vol) une seule fois et non pour chacune des étapes de ce vol. Toutefois, le fret qui est transporté sur une étape internationale et sur une étape intérieure d’un même vol doit être compté à la fois comme une expédition intérieure et comme une expédition internationale. Il convient d’appliquer le même principe pur calculer le nombre de tonnes de poste transportées. 1, record 7, French, - tonnes%20de%20fret%20transport%C3%A9es

La única excepción a esta regla se aplica a la carga transportada en etapas internacionales y del interior dentro del mismo vuelo, que en el cálculo se considera como envío o despacho del interior y también como internacional.
