What is the operating cost of an Airbus A320? (per mile or hour) Need a source pleeese!! :)?

Answer 1

you might find that answer on google or even at there site

Answer 2

The cost per seat mile is the holy grail of costing in the airline industry. The airlines know this number for each aircraft down to about 4 decimal places. They also know the revenue per seat mile per ticket sold and constantly adjust ticket prices to ensure at least a break-even on every flight. If a flight is not quite full as departure time approaches, and if the flight is in the black, ticket prices will plummet in an effort to grab every dollar possible. Conversely, if enough seats have not been sold to make the flight profitable the flight may well be cancelled. Southwest Airlines is notorious for this.

Answer 3

According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, an Airbus A380 costs $2,273 per hour to operate.

Answer 4

It is very difficult to give a specific cost per mile or hour, as there are many factor that will affect your individual operating costs, things like fuel price, the number of aircraft in your fleet, the length of each segment flown, number of hours you fly per year, if you have in-house maintenance or if you outsource it, and a host of other factors, but here is a PDF file with estimates for the A320 along with many other airliners.

Hope it helps.

Answer 5

According to GB Airways, the fuel consumption of an A320 is 665 Imperial gallons per hour. That's 786 US gallons. Jet fuel is about $2.05 per gallon right now, according to the IATA Fuel Price monitor.

So thats $1611 per hour, in fuel alone, which is the major cost for large airliners. That doesn't include maintenance costs, insurance or crew salaries.
