Title: A question about costs
Post by: Cheung Airlines on May 10, 2008, 10:57:23 am

I'm not very sure, but it seemed that a more unified fleet will have fewer maintainence cost and staff cost?
If yes, what is unified?
Is DC-8-61=DC-8-63=DC-8-62(Different version of DC-8 )?

yeah i'm with you there, i have a all saab fleet (almost) would that lower my cost and also the older the planes get
do the maitnence cost grow aswell? such as a DC-3 in 1990 (completly stupid i know) but will mean massive maitnence?

Having a single aircraft type in your airline will not reduce your maint costs

If my fleet is simply consist of DC-8, but different versions od DC-8.
e.g. 11  DC-8-61
       10  DC-8-62
       8   DC-8-55,etc

Will that costing me less maint cost?

Not currently, the formulas are based off the entire fleet size and does not look into the specifics.
