Hey guys. Can you help me out here. Right now I have a choice between the Tristar and the A300B4. I want the most economical airliner and for seat/fuel flow they are both around the same. So I was wonder what there maintenance and operating costs would be?

[Anthony Morgan]

Baseline type maintenance would be 5% of the aircraft base price and each aircraft maintenance would be 6% from the base cost subject to progressive increment over aircraft age. Operating cost not too sure though

[Michael.]

(seats*speed)/fuel flow I believe is a way to compare aircraft efficiency in flight. Bare in mind that turn time is not included in this formula.

Which Tristar model?

The tristar!
