- The number of company employees. If the year for this data is known, append it in parentheses, preferably with a
erence.

- The URL of the airline's primary website, in the form {{URL|example.com}} (see the Microformat section below for information about the importance of using the {{URL}} template in this field.
- notes
- For any short notes, qualifications, annotations, etc. pertaining to the infobox data, especially if indicated by e.g. superscripted lowercase letters (see example).
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.
- Losses
- A loss is expressed as a negative number in the form
{{wpl|United States dollar|US$}}-128 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small>which displays as US$-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
{{wpl|United States Dollar|US$}}
Use{{wpl|Canadian Dollar|C$}},{{wpl|Euro|€}},{{wpl|Pound sterling|£}}, etc.
- Please report dollar figures in the infobox consistently
- Use rounded millions or exact figures. Please avoid mixing styles.
- Examples of rounded millions:
{{wpl|United States dollar|US$}}11,276 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small>{{wpl|United States dollar|US$}}324 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small>{{wpl|United States dollar|US$}}.870 million <small>(''FY 2011'')</small>
- Examples of exact figures:
{{wpl|United States dollar|US$}}11,276,367,880 <small>(''FY 2011'')</small>{{wpl|United States dollar|US$}}324,008,131 <small>(''FY 2011'')</small>{{wpl|United States dollar|US$}}870,218 <small>(''FY 2011'')</small>
- Examples of rounded millions:
- 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 EasyJet and Ryanair.
