Employment and fuel consumption, 2011 and 2012
Table summary
This table provides data on employment and fuel consumption for 2011 and 2012. There are nine columns in this table. The first three reflect data on Levels I and II air carriers; the next three on Level III air carriers; and the final three on the total of Levels I to III air carriers. The rows of this table show details on the average number of employees, and wages and salaries paid in thousands of dollars; and fuel and oil consumption, in thousands of litres, and cost in thousands of dollars. The columns show these data for 2011 and 2012, with the percentage change from 2011 to 2012 for each data category being shown in the final column in each of the three groupings.
