Title: How much?
Post by: Pilot Oatmeal on February 26, 2011, 12:20:08 AM
How much profit should you be making on a route a week to cover the over head costs?

It all depends what kind of planes your flying and where your money is going.
But if you look at the picture i posted im Turing a total of 24,000 each time this plane does this route.
Now if you look at the overview of the aircraft flying it it's Turing 229k to 342k a week. If you look at the weekly estimate you'll see my overhead and thus my profit from the a/c every week. But like i said it all has to do with the plane, the routes, and fuel.

Boiler, there is one piece you may have omitted.  Those pictures outline only covering the variable cost of a route.  The profits are needed to cover the airline's fixed costs.

I meant to leave it out swift, i didn't like showing what kind of money im turning in that game world right now. But the cactus is right. Fleet commonality plays another key role in this too.
