After years of constant decline, the energy intensity of the aviation industry rebounded in 2020, reaching 18.4 and 12.6 megajoules per revenue-ton-kilometer equivalent for domestic and international flights, respectively. The energy intensity is a parameter that expresses how energy inefficient an industry is; the lower the intensity, the better.
