I would expect that aircraft emissions have a fixed cost + a distance dependent variable cost. Coupled with the fact that we are optimizing over a discrete set

I would expect that aircraft emissions have a fixed cost + a distance dependent variable cost. Coupled with the fact that we are optimizing over a discrete set of locations, it is very possible that the optimal location is at one of the corners of the triangle.
- jameshart 4y ago… sure, but also possible that it won’t always be.
- akira2501 4y agoThey have variable costs that aren't dependent on the distance. Some planes take off in 10 minutes, some planes have to sit for 45 before they can take off. This all also assumes that you will always be able to fly directly to your destination on the selected day. If you end up diverting or getting delayed, or if certain routes make that _more_ likely, then this wouldn't be a win at all.
