AOG costs
Sorry if this is an intrusion
My son works for a company that supplies specialist aluminium castings to the aviation industry among others. As part of one of their contracts they hold a quantity of spares for BAe systems to cover AOG.
He's just asked me for an indication, roughly, of the hourly cost of say a BAe 146 being AOG awaiting parts?
Nothing other than him showing general inerest.

Differs from operator to operator. If they have no extra lift, they may be responsible for hotel costs, getting the pax on another airline or leasing a aircraft depending on gow long the aircraft is down for. If they keep spare aircraft around, the cost is much less, but then again they are not making money with the spares.

Right. If they are in a slack period, thus excess capacity, and the bird isn't AOG in East Podunk, there may be little extra cost over and above mortgage premiums or lease fees.
That can be interesting for the lawyers to sort out.

If you have an Aircraft that is planned to operate 6 flights a day and the choice is cancel all 12 flights and take the consequences with your customers.
Or lease in another operator to do the flights.
As you will still pay all the costs fuel handling etc all you need to pay is the wet lease BAe 146 would be £10,000 per day give or take a £1K or three.

In a rather complex contractual framework between an airline and an MRO, any day of a planned (!) maintenance layover of an A340 classic was evaluated with approx. 30.000EUR. That means if the MRO could not squeeze an activity into any of the planned groundings (letter checks for instance), but had to ask for a special layover, this sum was on the tables...
