Looking for Business Plan for small Airline

[mobius]

Looking for a Business Plan for a small to medium sized start-up airline. Would appreciate any resource locations so a sample or real plan can be acquired/downloaded in an electronic format.

Thanks

Where are you located?

If anyone out there has a model or example that could be applied to the small/medium airline as requested above, I would also be keen on having a look.

I think in this day and age any business plan that is sitting on the shelve ready for use is likely to be outdated. Considering the new realities of this industry, I would suggest that you define the business case yourselve, once you know what it is you'd like to do i'm sure you'll be able to get quite a bit of help in determining if an economic viability is present.

I see it like this:

recognise the need for a service (or create it) determine the best way to fill the need and then calculate if you can make a profit doing it, sounds simple doesn't it ?:O

Excellent advise fluf and to assist i like Business Plan Pro 2003 by PaloAlto software.

It allows you to take your idea(s) and develop your own plan while allowing the process to remain fluid and therefore easily changeable.

Good luck.

I have had some success using the US Small Business Administration (SBA) generic plan. It provides a lot of detailed questions, which may or may not apply. It is an ideal check list.

If you can't find it PM or e-mail me and I can send you a copy.

Best of luck.

Downloaded both for a trial. Thank you for the good suggestions. Moby

I reckon the Kiwi's have the right formula to succeed in small business....... Start off by buying a bloody big one!

I think that statement is probably applicable to a lot of nationalities.

Anyway I have about a 40 page Business Plan Template for a small to medium sized "NIche"airline operating jets throughout Mexico and North America if anybodies interested.
