How relible are the pie graphs?

[coopdogyo]

I am just wondering how accurate the pie graphs showing what the percentage the type of demand is? Also how accurate are the airport size bars?

The pie graphs allocating who is carrying what amount of people should be exact. The bar graphs representing route demand are as reliable as the percentage at the bottom right corner of it says.

I am asking about the airport size bars. The ones that are next to the airport names that if you pan over them it shows a percentage. The reason I am asking is that I am based at Havana and it has 25% longhaul demand and 20% short haul demand. I have noticed that there is roughly 300 seats a day for domestic demand in total. While in terms of longhaul demand there is at least demand for 15 to 20 times the domestic demand. I am just trying to figure out if 25% of the passengers that fly through Havana want to go to a long haul destination and 20% want to go to a domestic destination then why are there so much more international demand then domestic demand.

demand is not only calculated by the pies, but also by real demand between two airports.

and the "size bar" is neither accurate, nor is it not, since it has only the sense to show the players the airport's size, and to have a sorting in the lists, but it does not really say anything about passenger demands...

FYI, the size bar measures only the total airport pax traffic. = airport with 20 mil yearly pax has a bigger bar than one with 10 mil pax a year (ref. figures are those that are inserted to database for each airport as baseline stats)

They do not represent the traffic between two selected airports.
