Hi all
I was wondering if i could get some "Ballpark" figures for the following questions, as it would be a great help in a report i have to compile as part of my course. (although the figures dont have to be super realistic, i would like to get them about right:O )
First a bit of background. For this report i have to compile a detailed technical report about the current state of this airline, its assets, finances and projections for the future. I have decided to chose a small cargo charter company based in Teesside somewhat along the lines of Air atlantique. It currently operates 6 DC-3's on various cargo flights to destiations in the UK and Ireland, France and the Channel Islands, as well as night mail routes between the various hubs (liverpool, london etc.)
So the questions i would like to ask are (and remember all figures are approximate)
What staffing levels would you expect for an airline such as this, and how would they break down (pilots, management, dispatch loaders etc)
What turnover would you expect this comapny to have
What costs (and a rough breakdown, wages, maintenance fuel etc)
And finally what options do you see for developing and expanding this airline, or would you expect it to be struggling
As i said before, dont go mental with the calculations, just ballpark figures will do, and any personal contributions will be referenced (I will PM you and let you know if i am using your figures)
I have tried googling and such, but i can only get figures for major airlines which dont seem relevant to a small op such as this.
Thanks again
Matty
