Information about operating costs of a boeing 737
 

Hello There,

I hope i am in the correct forum to post this question,

Is there some way to find out a cost breakdown of operating a boeing 737 aircraft?

This aircraft will be used app. 9 block hours per day and operate in the EU.

I would also like to find out the average maintenance costs for a Boeing 737 per year.

I am willing to pay for this information, if it can help me setting up a business plan. Send me a personal message to apply.

Thanks guys ! :ok:

Somewhere in the Standard Handbook for Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineers (ISBN 0071362290) there's an account of various aircraft operating costs, and a source is mentioned for these. I don't have a copy of the book and I can't recall the source, but if you request a copy through your library you'll be able to get your hands on it.

Further to your query:

From the US DOT's Bureau of Transportation Statistics 1999/1998, 'Air Carrier Financial Statistics Quarterly, Fourth Quarter, December,'

The maintencen cost in USD/hr for a 2 engined narrow-bodied airliner would be $515/hour. A 2 engined wide would run you $780/hour. 3 eng narrow 712, 3 eng wide 1459, 4 eng narrow 990, 4 eng wide 1699.

From Rankin WL, Hibit R, Allen J and Sergent R, 1998, "Development and Evaluation of the Maintence Error Decision Aid (MEDA) Process," International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, V01/6....

An IFSD costs $500,000 and a cancellation costs $50,000. A delay costs $10,000 per hour. [Obviously regarding airlines.]

From ATA's Economic Report [formerly Annual Report], 2000, the direct operating cost for various aircraft; (ranked in order of pax capacity) USD/hour:

If you also have a look at SET A (Aircraft Data Files) on http://www.bh.com/companions/0340741...es/default.htm

and, after selecting an html page pertinent to the aircraft in which you are interested, you can find a rough idea of the fuel/pax/nm (in kg) for same.. it's the very last row I believe.

Hope this helps.
