planeload

Full flight's passengers

A planeload is the quantity of passengers or cargo that fills an aircraft, or roughly that amount: A planeload of tourists arrived from Munich.

Like truckload or busload, it often emphasizes volume rather than exact capacity: They shipped planeloads of supplies to the disaster zone.
