83
percent
The global average passenger load factor reached approximately 83% in a typical recent year, meaning about 5 out of 6 seats are filled.
Explication
Load factor has risen steadily from around 70% in the 1990s thanks to better yield management systems and capacity discipline. Low-cost carriers typically achieve even higher load factors, sometimes exceeding 90%. Airlines that consistently operate below 75% load factor on a route often cut frequency or withdraw service entirely.
