Actually, A380 consumes no less than 15000kg/h or Jet A1 fuel. The cost of this kerosene is much cheaper than standard gasoline, about 0.6EUR/kg in EU. This results in roughly 9000EUR/h. Fully loaded (and depending on other exceptional circumstances) this can go up to 13000EUR/h. (I have this insight from a retired pilot instructor)
- belter 3y agoOk...so with 853 standard seats on the A-380, with a 8 hour long haul flight, and assuming a standard seat occupation at 70%, at an average price of 800 EUR per ticket...We are looking at 477,600 EUR income per flight compared to fuels costs ( with reserve fuel ) on the 108,000 EUR. So 369,600 EUR for insurances, crew, landing rights, maintenance per flight. Opening an Airline sounds like an interesting business opportunity if you focus on busy routes? :-)
- killingtime74 3y agoThe good routes have lots of competition. Although you can probably bump the average ticket price up a bit for non-economy class. Also you'll get significant revenue from freight.
- wkat4242 3y agoSpeaking of freight, I'm kinda surprised these A380s aren't getting converted to freighters. The demand for air freight seems to be huge and cabin costs can be omitted. Also the handling is easier because you don't need all the air bridges.
