This number indicates specific airframe, incl all optionsselected by an individual customer. Mostly a number-block is reserved for expected additional orders by the same customer. The larger the customer the more numbers are blocked in advance. If the block is full (more aircraft ordered , than initially expected), a second block is used.
First letter gives the aircraft type
P = 737, Y = 737NG, R = 747, N = 757, V = 767, W = 777, Z = 787.
The second letter stands for the minor model or a further sub-division . This is the variable (effectivity) block and the three following numbers are the sequence within the block. Note that not all numbers within a variable block actually get built.
Examples :
RA001 the first built 747-121 for Boeing.

With respect to the number of passengers on an aircraft, fuel cost should be mixed, i.e. a combination of fixed costs and variable costs. However, since the number of passengers on an aircraft have little effect on its overall weight, the variable portion would be small, and the cost will be mostly fixed. With respect to the number of miles flown, aircraft fuel cost would be variable.
