you need to provide some more info to allow an accurate model.

- how much per litre you pay for fuel and the currency. $US is good
- what you are doing eg pax or fires or siesmic
- how many hours per year - 200 or 1500
- do you want fixed costs included eg insurance, training costs, finance cost hangar

standing by.

yeah that list might be off, thanks though.

Fuel is about 2,50 USD per liter
mining company, transporting pax only.
about 300h per year I'd say.
I guess just maintenance and fuel, everything else to be calculated apart.

thanks

Hi, did you ever get more info on this? I am looking for a similar answer. As350B3 or B407. I have 300 hrs work annually. $2.00 per litre, tourist work. I've heard people say they would take 10 snags on a 407 before 1 on the Airbus (relating to spares reliability and cost on the Airbus). Tourist pax do seem to prefer the open Airbus forward facing seats though.

I cant make up my mind.
