Lets work on a very generous average load of 5 during the first three months using my previous figure of £610 operating costs per sector. Lets assume that the average fare is £110 one way, so with five PAX the airline takes £550 and the flight costs £610 to operate, that's a loss of £60. Now multiply that by four for each sector per day and we're taking a daily loss of £240. Now they operate five days a week so that is a weekly loss of £1200, now over the three month trial period that means that they stand to loose £14,400! That is based on a load factor of 84%. IT CANNOT POSSIBLY WORK! Why don't people do the maths before they play aeroplanes?
