Hi All,
As some may know, im studying Aviation Technology and Management at leeds, and as part of my course i have to put together a project. This has raised some questions. The overview of the project is that of creating a business plan for a fledgeling airline, and while my team was discussing this, we came up with some queries. Specifically
How many cabin crew would be needed in a jet for a typical low cost carrier flying to european destinations? We came up with about 3 from personal experience, any other ideas?
What ration of pilots (and cabin crew) to jets would be needed to ensure that there was always a front end crew available and still might flight crew time limitations?
How many ground staff (including dispatchers) would be needed to ensure the quickest turn around time possible? presumably above a certain number they all just start getting in the way of each other?
And Finally, approximately how much would it cost to stock a typical low cost airliner with the required amount of food and duty free, and how often would this need to be restocked (again approximately)
Finally, any respondants, PM me with your name etc and you will be credited in the final report. Your name in print (for the right reasons!)
many thanks in advance
