I did transatlantic crossing with an ANA 787 from LHR to JFK. It took about 8hrs. Once I got over the Atlantic I left it running while I went out, all I had to do was the take off and landing as we were practically in NY when I got back! ;p
Yeah, like I said I leased 5 (now up to 8) Airbus A300 for just $6000 and I am now earning a decent profit on all routes. I recently pulled a route into Ukraine that wasn't earning any money and my expenditure went down meaning I have more money. That airline (British Holidays and British Holidays International) are now at +2million and +6million respectively. With my in debt airline, I feel proud that I am not doing as badly as some. Ine airline was 9 billion dollars down the hole!
Hi guys, my airline is now -95million. However I started a new one to check out this formula I found and so far it works! I leased 5 used Airbus A300-B4's for just $6000 each, and started routes that earn almost double the gate cost and lease cost together. The formula goes like this:
Lease used aircraft whenl up to 15-20 million
Lease new aircraft when up to 30-35 million
Buy used aircraft when up to 40-45 million
Buy new aircraft from 45 million +
I am now at -90million, I have set staff wages to a minimum, flying to less expensive airports, have 100% load factor on all but 1 flight and I need new aircraft as I only have 2 A320. Help!
Maybe I shouldn't have bought those A320's outright My other airline with 3 leased Q400's appears to be doing much better.
