Airlines generating significant revenue from both cargo and passengers.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Commercial Airlines (10.5.4), the segment that Cargo-Passenger Hybrid Carriers sits within. They are not figures for Cargo-Passenger Hybrid Carriers on its own.
Not sized separately. Scheduled passenger service is one classification, so mainline, low-cost and regional carriers cannot be separated. All three are siblings on this page and all three sit in the parent's figure. The distinction that matters commercially is cost per available seat mile, and it is precisely what the classification does not see.
