===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'''<br> {{tl|increase}} will display as {{increase}} <br> {{tl|steady}} will display as {{steady}} <br> {{tl|decrease}} will display as {{decrease}} 
::Example: <code><nowiki>{{increase}} [[United States dollar|US$]]324 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small></nowiki></code> displays as: {{increase}} [[United States dollar|US$]]324 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small>

;Losses: A loss is expressed as a negative number in the form <code><nowiki>[[United States dollar|US$]]-128 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small></nowiki></code> which displays as [[United States dollar|US$]]-128 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small><br>

;Foreign currency earnings reports: If the airline reports financial data in currency other than United States dollars, please substitute the appropriate currency indicator in place of <code><nowiki>[[United States Dollar|US$]]</nowiki></code><br> Use <code><nowiki>[[Canadian Dollar|C$]]</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>[[Euro|€]]</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>[[Pound sterling|£]]</nowiki></code>, etc.

;Please report dollar figures in the infobox consistently: Use rounded millions or exact figures. Please avoid mixing styles.<br>
::Examples of rounded millions:

:::<code><nowiki>[[United States dollar|US$]]324 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small></nowiki></code>
:::<code><nowiki>[[United States dollar|US$]].870 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small></nowiki></code>
::Examples of exact figures:

;Bases, hubs, secondary hubs and focus cities: Where the total number of bases, hubs, secondary hubs and/ or focus cities for an airline is 10 or greater <u>and</u> 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 [[EasyJet]] and [[Ryanair]].
