CAT medium helicopter operational costs
As a professional pilot, luckily I've always been paid to fly, and not having been a manager I just have a rough idea of the operational cost of a helicopter used for CAT.
I could compare different types for their performance, flying quality, etc... from a pilot's point of view, but I don't know which type is the most profitable for a company to transport passengers.
For instance, let's say in the O&G related services, is it worth to operate an S92 that can carry a certain number of pax and cargo or is an AH175 more efficient although smaller? Or what's the cost of an hour in a AW189 compared to the AW139?
Anyone wants to share some data?
Thank you
