Example: For this month’s tip we will identify the difference between distance - DIRECT, SUMMED and TOTAL.
For this report we will use the route JFK to GIG to show how you can identify the difference between the various distance measures that are available in MAX Online.
On the homepage of MAX Online, click 'run a New Query'. Start setting up your report by selecting the following yellow filters:-
Departure Airport Code(s)
DEPARTURE FROM folder
Arrival Airport Code(s)
ARRIVAL TO folder
Passenger (excluding surface)
SERVICE folder
Operating Flights Only
CODE SHARE folder
Week Commencing Date(s)
PERIOD folder
Now select the following fields as Results Objects.
Your screen should look like the image below (click on the chart to view a larger image)
Click Run Query and when prompted please enter JFK as the Departure Airport Code and GIG as the Arrival Airport Code. Select 2007-08-06 as your week commencing date.
The results of the report show that from JFK to GIG the Statute Miles Direct are 4,801. Considering there are 7 flights a week, the Total Statute Miles Direct are 7 times 4,801 (33,604). Likewise, Statute Miles Summed is the overall distance from JFK to GIG including the intermediate airports, which in this case are ATL and GRU.
