    These aircrafts fly around 300-400 hours in a month . The cost calculator is basing it on an yearly 400 hours .

      Yea, that struck me as odd. Fixed costs such as purchase and training would be over-represented. No to mention maintenance would be on the clock, not condition.

      @@LuxPlanes I think that, if you've flown Ryanair, you really only get the price you paid for if you are getting on the plane, not eating anything, and not carrying any baggage. At least they're quite safety concerned (so it's not really cutting costs for safety). Everything is marked up far more than most conventional airlines.

    given these prices, the cost of airline tickets start to make a little more sense, but i wonder how much money each or these airplanes generates for the airline relative to how much it costs to fly. of course this is a much much harder thing to determine as revenue per flight is much more variable than expenses paid per flight for the most part (right?)

  • @davidlorenz54

    This proves how valuable air freight is as low cost Airlines like Jetstar and Ryan would never survive. I've thought that passengers were more of a social curtsey than necessity for Airlines for some time now as economy class is a burden to Airlines.

    • @barrylenihan8032
      @barrylenihan8032 Год назад

      If economy passengers were a burden on airlines, how come Ryanair is so profitable as they only have economy class on their aircraft.
      I think the reason why Ryanair is so successful is because they buy their aircraft at a significant discount, operate them at approx. 2,000 hours or more per annum (which is why they have quick turnarounds), charge separately for baggage, priority boarding and seat selection, sell additional services to customers, advance purchase their future fuel requirements, have a high occupancy rate, use secondary airports in some cases, etc...
      The bottom line is that the Ryanair cost per hour is significantly lower than that indicated in the video, which is a simplistic presentation of operating costs.
      And before anyone comments that Ryanair doesn't operate the A320, Beijing solely B737 operators, I think it is safe to presume both aircraft have similar operating costs, as otherwise one would have a clear advantage, which is not borne out by the sales figures.
