Airplane profit?

Question

if you ahd your own small plane, is there money to be made delivering items...flying some one here and there? etc?

Answer 1

Yes just be very aware of all the costs. Cargo is a very good thing but you will need to have contacts in the industry. The hidden costs are big if you do not know them eg Parking and landing, 100hour mpi, engine halflife, prop halflife Fuel prices are affecting people alot.

Money is always to be made. Just be aware.

P.S Im starting the same thing but with a vew aircraft and larger ones.

Answer 3

Depends on the operating cost of your aircraft and the prospective customers you have in mind. Trips, in which your return journey will also  pick up revenues, would be ideal.

Aviation financials and costing is a highly specialised job. If you are not qualified in this field, you would do well to hire the proper professionals to do the job. Otherwise, you may be in for a few surprises.
