Handling/airport costs for departure and destination will be in the order of 1000 Euros, airway charges 100, fuel 500. Leaves 800 Euros for capital cost, maintenance, crew, crew training, operations, dispatch, office rent, hangar, catering, pubilcity. administration, ...
This year the fifth company I worked for in the business aviation and trainng industry went bankrupt. I think I know all about financial failure that one can know... All five of "my" companies had far more solid business models than this one here.
