Countries and regions are ranked highest to lowest quality of overall infrastructure.
See explanation in the Notes below the table.
NOTES:
When two countries have the same score, then the country with the higher overall competitiveness index is ranked higher.
Overall infrastructure scores were calculated from the results of a survey:
How would you assess general infrastructure (e.g., transport, telephony, and energy) in your country?
1 = extremely underdeveloped
7 = extensive and efficient by international standards
2009�10 weighted average is the score given to each country.
Individual components of infrastructure scores include the following:
Available airline seat kilometers
Scheduled available airline seat kilometers per week
originating in country (in millions) | January 2010 and July
2010 average
This variable measures the total passenger-carrying capacity
of all scheduled flights, including domestic flights, originating
from a country. It is computed by taking the number of seats
available on each flight multiplied by the flight distance in
kilometers, by summing the result across all scheduled flights
in a week during January (winter schedule) and July (summer
schedule) 2010, and by taking the average capacity of the two
weeks.
