Southwest Airlines Co  (FRA:SWN) Available Seat Miles (Mil) Explanation

Available Seat Miles (Mil) (ASM), or Available Seat Kilometers (Mil) is a very important metric in deciding which airlines are best at generating revenues from the availability of seats to customers for investors to analyze airlines.

Not every occupied seat generates revenue for the carrier. Some non-revenue passengers would also occupy seats, such as airline’s personnels and certain types of standby passengers. How airlines balance such non-revenue passengers against its seats occupied by paying customers can directly affect the profitability of each flight.

Measurements calculated based on ASM could provide a full picture of a flight’s financial performance, such as Total Revenue per Available Seat Mile (Cents) and Cost per Available Seat Mile (Cents), which can be combined together to determine the profitability of each flight.
