I'm going to guess the "50 seats" number is actually for both SFO-PVG and PVG-SFO, so it's really 25 return seats/day.
If you presume that route is 100% business for Apple, then...
$35 million in revenue, divided by 365 days, gives $100k/day.
$100k/day, divided by 50 seats gives $2k/seat
If that's really 50 seats in each direction then that's $1k/passenger/flight.
Whilst I'm sure Apple gets good discounts, I can't see them paying $1k for a 6000 mile business class flight...
However with 25 passengers in each direction that comes out to $2k/passenger/flight, or $4k/round trip.
(If they do have non-business class travelers on that route then the $ numbers are even lower)

At the very bottom of the posters it says "fly California's global airline", so my guess would be CA revenue only.
