An operational and economic analysis was conducted on Greenlandair, a large helicopter commuter operation. Results indicate that the airline could realize a significant increase in available seat miles with a decrease in total cost by replacing the fleet of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft with Tiltrotors. The Tiltrotor can fly 2.5 times faster than the helicopters, and 25% faster than the presently used turboprop aicraft. Fuel consumption could be reduced by one half, and with additional savings on maintenance, crew costs, and ground support costs, plus expanded flight schedules, the airline could achieve a net yearly savings of over 2 million dollars.
