Title: What am I doing wrong?
Post by: Ilyushin on September 26, 2010, 10:12:21 AM
Hi,

I would like to request some help please.

In my airline I have 3 EMB-120s flying, each to 1 destination

My airline is based in Amsterdam, the flight are as follows:

EHAM - EDDL 5 times a day. Always have 85% LF and up.
I charge 85 USD for every flight and my daily profit is about $8500.
Route images are 21 for the outbound flight, 28 for the inbound flight.

EHAM - EDDT 4 times a day. 85% and up LF, except for the early 0410-0600 flight which has 65%, but the return has 92%.
I also charge 85 USD for this flight, all of them. ~$4700 daily profit.
Route images are 14 for the outbound flight, 18 for the outbound flight.

EHAM - EDDH 4 times a day. LF are always 90% and up.
I charge 85 USD for the flight except for the earliest, I charge 90 USD for it.
Route images are 14 for the outbound flight and 18 for the inbound flight.

But I still can't compensate all of my total losses. Last week I made $325k ticket profit, but the total costs were way more than that, making me lose $307k that week. Now my money is in the red (-87k) and I already bankrupted 3 times.

All my Embraer 120 Brasilia's are leased aircraft.

Thanks for your help, I hope you can help me out so I can make some nice profit.

You could pack more flights into the schedules .. And you should also be able to charge higher prices, now in some route the suggested prices in Y class is around $140 and you charge ~$80 so that's a big loss of income there.

Operating small aircraft is difficult as there the profit margins are quite thin.

Alright, I changed the prices to the suggested ones.

I really don't want to add more flights because EHAM slots are really, really expensive...

Thanks for your help.

edit: The LF decreased by ~10%, but I make 13k-20k profit each day per plane now. Thanks :)
