PAX stands for?

• A. Passenger
• B. Public Address
• C. Mechanical
• D. Lavatory Supply Kit

Answer: (A)

PAX is aviation shorthand for passengers. In airline operations and training materials you’ll often see phrases like “PAX on board,” “PAX count,” or “PAX manifest.” This compact term saves space and keeps communications clear when describing the people traveling on the aircraft. It’s distinct from other common abbreviations: Public Address is usually written as PA and refers to the cabin announcement system; the other terms relate to equipment or systems rather than people. So the best answer is that PAX stands for passenger.
