Just a question. Why did my aircraft maintainance costs go up from 300,000,000 to 1,200,000,000?
-
Increased age (which will increase costs slowly over time) and aircraft purchases are likely candidates. Especially purchases of large and/or old second-hand aircraft can give big jumps. The maintenance formula is kinda funny though - it can jump around quite a bit even with smaller transactions.

Which really really really needs to be fixed.

It can be an advantage too. My maintenance went from just under 500mln to around 200mln a couple days ago. Why? I guess it's because I scrapped 15 5 year old A319's (total fleet of 220 mixed A319 & ERJ190 aircraft). I didn't do anything else... So I guess relatively small changes can have major consequences.

Thanks for the help guys, i just retired and replaced my whole fleet of Boeing 737's that were all over 10 years old. I have a total of 231 aircraft
