i clicked through to the source and it didn’t seem to allow for the possibility of round trips
The footnote for the stat says “unique passengers flown.” Doesn’t specify anything about segments. My guess is they calculated per reservation; e.g., 87% of pax only travel on 1 reservation (most of which are probably RTs) per year.
