How this figure is calculated
Tonne-kilometers of air freight divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Tonne-kilometers of air freight ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Tonne-kilometers of air freight International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), via World Bank (2026) – processed by Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
