How much fuel do airline companies use to go from JFK to LAX and how much does it cost them?

Question

Also, how much does a Boeing 747 cost?

Answer 1

depends on the aircraft, each aircraft is different.

I.e a dassult falcon 20 in cruise gets about 1nm to 1 gallon of fuel.

a B-747 gets uses about 7-9 gallons per mile...

A B747 on long trips charge on average 45.00 a mile.. or about 22,000.00 an hour.

Answer 2

A 757 would use approx. 30,000 pounds of fuel flying JFK to LAX.

(between 6.4 and 6.8 pounds/gallon)

The price for a new 747-400 or 400ER  (in 2007) delivered from Boeing ranged from $ 228 - $260 million dollars.

Configurations and options that may affect price include performance capability, interiors, avionics, fuel capacity, etc.

The 747's used for Freighters were slightly more expensive.
