What is the term for the number of miles assigned by IATA to every city-pair used in published international fares?

• A. Neutral Units of Construction (NUCs)
• B. Mileage System
• C. No-Show
• D. Maximum Permitted Miles (MPM)

Answer: (D)

IATA assigns a mileage value to each city-pair used in published international fares, and the term for the maximum distance allowed for a published fare is Maximum Permitted Miles. This value defines the upper limit of miles for which that fare remains valid; if the itinerary distance exceeds the MPM, that particular fare typically can’t be used and another fare or rule applies. The other options refer to different concepts: Neutral Units of Construction relates to currency pricing, No-Show is a violation, and Mileage System is not an official fare term.
