The costs of air transportation are analyzed, giving attention to direct and indirect costs. Systems of cost analysis are considered together with the effect of individual parameters on the costs of operation. Attention is given to cruising speed, flight time, total operational time, aircraft design, and aircraft manufacture. A first estimation of operational costs has to take into account the weight of the aircraft, the weight of the fuel needed during the flight, the fuel reserve, and questions of the selection of one of three operational approaches in conducting the flight. Direct costs of the flight operation are discussed in detail together with expenses for maintenance, inspection, depreciation, and fuel costs. Indirect expenses include costs of administration, publicity, and airport charges. (Author)
