Answer :

Sure, let’s work through each of these questions step-by-step.

1.1.1 Write down the aircraft operator whose average daily flights increased the most since 2019. (2)

Among the listed aircraft operators, Wizz Air Group had the highest increase in average daily flights since 2019 with a +13% change.
So, the answer is:
- Wizz Air Group

1.1.2 France operated 4290 average daily flights in 2019. Determine the missing value A, rounded to the nearest whole number. (4)

To find the average daily flights in France for 2022 (value A), given that the percentage change from 2019 was -25%, we use the formula for calculating the new value after a percentage decrease:
[tex]\[ \text{New Value} = \text{Original Value} \times \left( 1 + \frac{\text{% Change}}{100} \right) \][/tex]

Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[ \text{Value A} = 4290 \times \left( 1 + \frac{-25}{100} \right) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Value A} = 4290 \times (1 - 0.25) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Value A} = 4290 \times 0.75 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Value A} = 3217.5 \][/tex]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, Value A is:
- 3218

1.1.3 Calculate the missing value B. (4)

The British Airways Group had a -30% change in average daily flights from 2019. To find the average daily flights for 2022 (Value B), we need to find 70% (100% - 30%) of its average daily flights in 2019. Let's assume the 2019 value was X.

[tex]\[ \text{2022 Value} = X \times 0.70 \][/tex]

We need to find the initial value first.

Let’s denote the initial average daily flights of British Airways Group from 2019 by [tex]\( X \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \text{2019 Value} = X \][/tex]

Given that there’s a 30% decrease in 2022:
[tex]\[ \text{2022 Value} = X \times 0.70 \][/tex]

Since the 2022 percentage change is calculated from the original values:
You can deduce directly the value for 2022 average daily flights for British Airways.

[tex]\[ B = \text{British Airways Group daily average in 2022} \][/tex]
Given the decrease, B is:
[tex]\[ X = \frac{B - B \times \frac{30}{100}}{100} \][/tex]

Finding that:
[tex]\[ \text{Value B} = X = 0.70X \approx 0.49 \][/tex]

So, the value of B is approximately:
- 0.49


1.1.4 Write in full the abbreviation of the country UK. (2)

The abbreviation UK stands for:
- United Kingdom

1.1.5 Identify the currency used in France. (2)

The currency used in France is the:
- Euro

1.1.6 The countries mentioned in TABLE 1 form one continent. List the continent. (2)

The countries listed in TABLE 1 (UK, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Netherlands, Greece, Norway, Switzerland) all belong to the continent of:
- Europe

These are the detailed solutions for each part of the question.
