CLARITY ON PURPOSE OF AIRCRAFT

First step in an orderly fleet choice is clarity on the requirements


Too often (start-up) airlines take the aircraft as a starting point of their commercial planning.

In our view, the fleet should be the resultant of a fully elaborated commercial vision.

This is the only credible basis for requirements regarding operational performance, capacity, economics, cargo capabilities, etc.



OBJECTIVE INDEPENDENT CALCULATIONS

Unbiassed compare of economic performances of all candidates


Manufacturers always calculate economic benefits of an aircraft their way.

We ensure that all options are calculated in the same way and consistent with your situation and cost levels.

Our specialized tool-kit streamlines the compare of economics of all aircraft on the market, and calculates the optimal number of units per type and season.



SEASONALITY VS CAPACITY

Trade-off between accomodating peaks and yearround costs


Peak flights are often seen as profitable, but that is not always the real picture.

Traditional P&L's will rarely reflect the costs of capacity that stands idle for the rest of the year.

In our fleet capacity recommendations, we calculate the optimal cut-off depending on the volatility and length of the season.
