Okay so i have a couple of questions about Maintenance costs and the replacement of aircraft 

 

1)First does anyone know at what rate the maintenance costs of each individual aircraft increases?

I know the longer you have it the more it increases but at what rate

 

 

 

2)And is there a specific point at which it's becomes un-affordable to keep an aircraft and it should be replaced?

Some people say they replace their aircraft once they reach 7 or 10 years old, but is that just to keep the fleet young? or is this when the aircraft become overly costly to operate?

If you want to be profitable change your planes every 200 months (so every 15-16 years) or run the risk of a financial loss and keep the planes till like 25-28 years old than its time to go because at that point the airplane will in most cases be unprofitable and you will lose money fast.

Cool thanks so replacing aircraft every 15ish years is good.

 

 

What about how the maintenance costs are calculated?
