Azeman, are you just going through every aircraft you can think of and starting a thread about it's costs?

Not difficult to roughly assess, in terms of fuel, hangarage and insurance, but if you're looking at older aircraft you never know when a massive bill for a new engine is round the corner, or on the DA42 you previously asked about you never know when the gear box is just going to give up.

Starting an air taxi company from scratch with aircraft of these size is going to be incredible different. Better off doing what most companies of this type of operation do and buy an islander or a twin otter.
