When in the Air Charter Business, How does one calculate their prices? Scenario= Cessna 402B/C used for on demand charter. Operational costs per hr / $250.00 Do you charge per NM or by the seat? Any thoughts are appreciated... Back to top EDR Guest Posted: Sun May 02, 2004 4:29 am    Post subject: Re: Air Charter Costs/Pricing ???

But if you know of a crew cost as well, let me know...

(pilots get full pay for sitting, the plane does not). I think they pad it a bit and if they go over, they don't charge. What amazes me are the tips. Some of these charters are single engine Bonanzas (one of the few places holding a singe engine 135 insurance policy), yet you still see 3 figure tips. -Robert Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Owning Airplanes All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
