ATK : Available Tonne-Kilometre

ATK is a unit to measure the capacity of an aircraft/airline. One ATK is equivalent to the capacity to transport one tonne of freight over one kilometre.

It is a similar unit for cargo as ASK is for passenger transport.
With an arbitrary value of 100 kg per passenger, one ATK equals ten ASK.

Remark : ATK and ASK do not take any load factor into account.
