What i read from this document is that using two smaller planes compared to one bigger one, the cost is about 40-50% higher.
For instance: Long haul, standard seat arrangement, 450 pax,
A380: roughly 13,5ct/n mile-pax
B767-300 (@225 pax): roughly 12ct/n mile-pax
So it's 13,5c compared to 24ct. <------ Edit: wrong!!!
Please correct me if i am wrong...
Edit: yes, i was wrong. shouldn't multiply by two as cost is 'per pax'.
