Meanwhile, I'm not sure I understand how that affects your business plan - the aircraft costs the same to run, and in most charter operations is sold for the same price, regardless of seat occupancy.
It affects the customers of the business plan when considering all travel options...Fractional, other charter, airlines first/business class.
It's one thing to split $4,000 two ways, and quite another to split it 4 or even 6 ways.
I'm also curious if there would be differences between Europe and the US in the avg number of pax, due to business culture, different BA penetration etc.
