You've missed out the crew though.
Currently the cost of pilot and co pilot are amortized over 100s of passengers.
You've quoted 2 crew to 9 passengers, and I'd have guessed 3 crew (pilot, co pilot, Air Host(ess))
Obviously when we get to autonomous flight that will change, flights will never be completely crewless though.
- jillesvangurp 7y agoMost business jets today operate without an air hostess and some of them use only 1 pilot. I think the FAA limit for that is around 9 passengers. But you are right that that kind of cost is going to be dominating the overall cost.
