Pax count is UA's full-year number for last year, all of the other figures are estimates in the absence of any hard data.
How does the 21.8M related to the following from
http://www.unitedcontinentalholdings.com/
United Airlines and United Express operate an average of 5,341 flights a day to more than 360 airports across six continents. In 2012, United and United Express carried more passenger traffic than any other airline in the world and operated nearly two million flights carrying 140 million customers.
is the 21.18M tickets / PNRs and 140M counting each segment? average of 6 segment / ticket seems high.
