Air craft Km flown from 1970-2007
In the international operations
Passenger numbers flown in
international operations
 CORRELATION   between the Aircraft Km flown
and the passenger km flown=0.9626
 This implies that there is a strong relation
between the the distance travelled and
passengers willing to travel each year remains
linear
 From the above graphs it is clear that there is
a continuous increase iin the aircraft km flown
and the passenger km flown
 From the regression analysis we took the
Hyphothesis
 In the case of aircraft km flown there is a
steep increase from the year 2000-2001
 In the case of passenger km flown there is a
rapid increase from the year 2003-2004
 This sudden increase is due to the private
operations from the year 1995 onwards
 It has taken 4-5 years to boost the operations
and the passenger travel
From the domestic operations, the
no.of Aircraft km flown
Passenger Km flown from the domestic
operations
Analysis
 The correlation between the domestic aircraft
km flown and the passenger km flown =.9638
 This implies that there is a positive relation
between the aircraft km flown and the
passenger number flown
 Here from the graph aircraft km flown there is
a immediate increase in its operations right
from the year 1995 onwards ie, when the
private flights are operated
 In the case of number of passengers flown
only from the year 2003 the number of
passengers have increased
Analysis(cond..)
 From these two operations no.of km flown in
the domestic level is more than the no.of km
flown in the operations of international
operations
 The private operations helped mostly the
domestic passengers rather then the
international operations


Air india operations
analysis
 The co-relation between the revenue hours
flown and the Available seat km is 0.99. This
implies that there is a strong relation between
the revenue hours and the available seat km.
 The co-relation between the revenue hours
flown and the Available tonne km=.9914
Indian Airlines performance
 The correlation between the revenue hours
flown and the available km flown =.978
 The correlation between the revenue hours
flown and the available tonne km =0.991
 This implies that the revenue hours flown and
the available tonne are closely related.
