Pretty close to the costs for companies with flying planes, I would think: salaries, depreciation/leasing of planes and real estate, airport fees, insurance, power, etc. They do save on fuel costs, I guess.
The airline industry was bailed out in 2001 and probably will be again if this goes on. I believe an economist showed that the industry as a whole (since it started) has lost money.
- viraptor 17y agoSorry - I was thinking about costs different to what they normally pay. So you're right - it's almost exactly what they pay anyways. But if you manage to actually have a number of planes flying internationally, I'd imagine you should have enough money in reserve to support the company for a month without much income (also, people are still buying tickets for the following months). It was not even a week so far - that's probably comparable to the number of flights stopped every year because of snow. Should I seriously believe that they don't plan for those kinds of events?
