Air Line Set up
Ive always wanted to start my own airline and have been researching the thought for the last few weeks, so far ive decided to keep toronto as my hub and to fly to other regional airports such lake simcoe (wasagha beach) and montreal.
The Idea was to lease a 20 seater turbo prop and keep flights at $75-$200. It would take quite a while to break even but the concept was to concentrate on volume while flights are efficient getting customers from point A to B.
My first question was besides the air taxi operators certificate, a chief pilot, an operations manager, maintenece, landing and fuel costs what are the key concers when starting up (assuming my finances are in order)?
My second question the number of turbine airplanes to choose from is huge! would anybody suggest a fuel efficient/maintainable and commercialy feasable aircraft for this kind of operation?
