How long is a piece of string?
I've had this type of question dozens of times in my working life. It still astounds me.
Just think whether the operating cost would be the same if flown by Ryanair or Air France, and you will start to understand. And do you mean just direct costs or including all overheads down to the CEO's mistress?
If you will be the operator, you will know how much you're going to pay for crews, insurance, maintenance, lease, finance etc. No need to ask elsewhere.
Whichever way, the cost will be closely linked to the operator's local environment, and it's not an easy sum to do. Get your calculator out!
B772, at least you understand. For some folks it's always easier to ask someone else. Avoids thinking too much!

$289,653.23 per hour or part thereof.
Well, depending on fuel price where you live, crew salaries and expenses, engine and airframe hours so far, typical sector length, maintenance costs, labour rates, utilisation, depreciation policy, interest and insurance costs and loads more besides.
It's a simple question but the answer ain't!

He he, i did some calculations on this for some year ago,,Europe -Asia
If i remember right i ended up with the same price as it would cost to buy "normal" economy tickets to get break even and i would need 100% full plane

The real question is why are you paying 11 million USD for a -200F. I hope it is fresh from "C" check with plenty time remaining to "D". Plenty of eng cycles remaining, recent gear O/H. etc., etc. Most of the available -200Fs are well high of the 70K flight hour mark.

Sir;;
If you are seeking operating costs for the -200F, which you do not seem to be aware of, yet you know enough to allow for 1.5 for a "D" check, I wish you well. sounds like you are after the Icelandic aircraft and if you are happy to pay that amount in this market, have at it.

TRISTAR;
Getting to the D4/5 stage of a freighters life is a whole new field in terms of costs. I attach this:

to give you some idea of relevant, basic, direct maintenance costs.
