Notes

Revenue, operating income, net income, assets and equity

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the direction of change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. If no citable information is available for previous fiscal year data, please do not use an icon.

Indicator wikicodes
{{increase}} will display as
{{steady}} will display as
{{decrease}} will display as

Example: {{increase}} {{USD|324}} million (''FY 2011'') displays as: US$324 million (FY 2011)

Losses

A loss is expressed as a negative number in the form {{USD|-128}} million (''FY 2011'') which displays as US$−128 million (FY 2011)

Reports in currencies other than US dollars

If the airline reports financial data in currency other than United States dollars, please substitute the appropriate currency indicator in place of {{US$}} or {{USD}} or US$.

Bases, hubs, secondary hubs, focus cities

Where the total number of bases, hubs, secondary hubs and/ or focus cities for an airline is 10 or greater and listing all of them results in an excessively long infobox which disrupts the formatting of the rest of the article, consideration should be given to using collapsible lists for this section, for example, at (Q191551) and (Q170614).
