The airline’s Baggage Management Director suggests that an allocation on the basis of baggage traffic, not flights, will be better at representing the distribution, primarily based on the fact that the high fees now charged to passengers to check luggage have significantly changed the number of bags handled at the major hubs. Total number of bags handled during the year are 2,490,000 at HUA, 1,582,400 at DFW, and 763,500 at SAT.
What are the percentage changes in allocation at each hub using the two different bases?
Compare last year’s allocation based on flight traffic with this year’s based on baggage traffic using a rate of $0.138/bag. Significant change took place, especially at SAT.
