Maintenance Cost

Fuel prices at the moment are about 6 times + what they are in any year ingame, since the price of oil has shot up. Even 2007 ingame will work off ~$60 a barrel price.

i guess i have to disclose my new monthly costs now in order to lead in the "race"......Total Costs €5,912,274,902 €5,912,274,902....................
my total costs seem have beaten my net profit ......

i regret that i have chose W6....i should have chosen W3 instead......the tu-114D is much better.....

I have a question regarding fleets. I remember seeing that as far as mechanics and techs go it's based on how many different types of aircraft you have. If I have some 767-200's, some 767-200ers, some 767-300's, and some 767-300er's is that one type, two types or four types? Same thing with A342 and A343, as well as all other types I guess, 737's etc...

If I understood correctly what Stephen said, that's not yet the case. Keyword, of course, beeing "yet."

I belive that the fuel should have shot up in AM and killed off the airlines who were weak (like in reality in 2008) and then we could have double dosed them with maint as well

What year is it in the game and what are the fuel prices compared to today (Measured in todays currency values)

I'm going to hit the 5 billion euro mark for maintenance tomorrow...

Currently at less than 45% profits compared to revenue.
Over 47.9% of my total revenue goes to maintenance.

It is slowing things down for some of us...I've added nearly 5 million to my DOP in the past couple days yet monthly profit has dropped nearly 100 million

And actually have a few less aircraft then I did the other day :? Cant purchase the aircraft I'm planning quite as fast...Just started a new hub for Trans-Atlantic service last night and need a few more L1011-500s...on top of growing my domestic hubs :oops:

There needs to be a different formula for figuring maintenance costs. Usually your techs would be specialized on an aircraft type. So the more aircraft types you have the more techs you will need at a hub. But if your in my case...each hub has its own aircraft type.

Hub A...737-500s
Hub B...MD-87s
Hub C...A320-200s (My one foreign hub)
Hub D...L1011-500s

Each hub instead of having 4 tech groups really only needs 1 as there is only one aircraft type to deal with. But at current costs its like all 4 hubs have 4 tech groups even though only one aircraft type will be serviced there. Something to consider :idea:

That's really painful when I realized the maintenance cost is 50% of my total revenue. The rise in DOP becomes useless. :cry:

phenylhydrazine · **Reply #101 on:** May 24, 2008, 08:53:40 am

how come the maintenance cost is that high, it is quite ridiculous.

Cheung Airlines · **Reply #102 on:** May 24, 2008, 09:15:04 am

Dont even talk about my monthly revenue.
DOP:60m
Monthly revenue:400m
That means I only got 6.5 day's of DOP is really going into my pocket.

NIGHTMARE FOR MY AIRLINE IN W3

Gaius · **Reply #103 on:** May 26, 2008, 10:40:20 pm

Just curious....

I added 3 330-200LR to my fleet, my maintiance cost were around 40-45k prior to buying, then after I put all 3 planes on the route, my fee skyrocketed to 66k

Is this normal for 3 (major) aircrafts? If so then I better watch out into adding more major aircrafts in my fleet. I thought I would ask since 3 aircraft added almost 20k MORE in my fees and that seemed excessive.

Maintenance Fees €344,590,693
which is more than 50% of what i earn a month. Is there anyway i can add fuel surcharge just like in RL so my fuel expenses which amount to only €21,731,777 can be lowered?
:wink:
Btw i will be in red for the first time after how many game years by €-12,095,358.
But i think it has nothing to do with the maintenance cost.
