What the comparison covers
These figures describe the profiled types flown by US airlines, rather than every aircraft this manufacturer has built. A larger aircraft can burn more fuel per hour while carrying each seat further per gallon. The type pages show the operators and history behind each result.
Seat-miles per gallon counts seats offered, including empty ones. It doesn't show how full flights were. For occupied-seat results and regional allocations, use the airline profiles.
