  2. What is a A350?

  3. u should start off with some 737-300s or used a320s, and a 767-300 ain't a bad idea ether

  4. Your website is under construction. A new airline would probably be better off leasing at first to keep costs under control, particularly since the aircraft that you are asking for are not available from the manufactures. Leasing would get you aircraft sooner.

  5. The A350 is not in production yet. you would have to speak with Airbus directly.

    Purchase prices of a 757 will vary depending on year, inspection status and time remaining on engines and major components but you can be looking at anywhere between $10 to $30 million USD. The market reacted heavily to FedEx's announcement that they were looking at the 757 for freighter conversion.

    Lease rates will also vary depending on the year of the aircraft and the creditworthiness (or credit history) of the operator. For example, Lufthansa will get a much better lease rate than a start-up. If a start-up is well backed financially, then it improves its chances for a better rate.

    E-Mail these guys below. They'll provide you with current market prices and lease rates for the aircraft you need on the 757.

    Hope this helps, let me know if I can provide more info.

  6. The A-350 is under development and no prices are given yet.  The 757 is no longer being built and used aircraft are available on the open market but at this time they are in high demand.

    .

  7. Dry lease rates are around $180,000 a month right now. Purchasing one will be around $15M for a mid-time aircraft with moderate time P&W 2000 or RR RB211 engines.

    My guess is that you aren't even close to having that much capital to invest in the aircraft, let alone put up the infrastructure to support the maintenance for the aircraft, let alone fuel and crew costs. Just the basic necessities like manuals on a revision service from Boeing is in excess of $75k/yr.

    Aside from the lease payment, should you decide to go that way, they require a deposit, usually close to the same amount as two months rent on the aircraft.

    You should also hire the services of a tech rep to go inspect the aircraft and walk you through the acceptance procedure. It is not like going to buy a car.

    That rep will cost you around $60k for the 30 day period it takes to move the aircraft on to your certificate. What's that, you don't have a certificate?

    OK, you'll have to make a DOT filing and put up a bond (amount to be determined by the DOT, somewhere in the $1M range), then you'll have to write your general procedures manuals, fueling manuals, loading manuals, crew procedures, have all of those annoying emergency cards made, train the F/A's, print tickets, rent gate space at your designated airports, office space for your staff, hangar space for maintenance, aircraft tooling, gate agents, customer service staff, telephone sales agents, bank accounts, credit processing agreements with the major cards, agreements with other airlines to pick up your slack when an aircraft breaks (if they'll even talk to you), hotel arrangements, TSA waivers and background checks, baggage handlers, fuel purchasing agreements (they aren't just going to come to the aircraft and ask, "fill'er up?"), airport landing fee agreements, IRS filings, legal agreement for contract of carraige, liability insurance, hull insurance, disability insurance, hangarkeepers insurance, health care insurance for your employees (qualified people aren't going to leave their jobs to come work for you for the same pay and less benefits than your competitors offer), aircraft parts suppliers agreements, shipping accounts...I could go on for hours.

    So, before you've flown a single passenger on revenue service you'll have spent well over $1M and not made back a single penny. You'll also have to hire the required positions for a 121 operation before you can begin operations. You'll need a Director of Maintenance, Safety, Quality and a Chief Pilot. Each of those guys will set you back somewhere around an average of $125,000/yr.

    Something tells me that you aren't the guy that has these kinds of resources....most people outside the industry have NO idea what it actually takes to run an airline. It's not just a couple of bus drivers with a trolley-dolly or two in the back.

  8. Dude first of all are you really making an airline, because if you are you should already know. Airline companies actually contacts and go the Airbus/Boeing headquarters they don't go to Yahoo Answers. Also their site wouldn't be from freewebs.com. well, if you're seriously making a real airline GOOD LUCK. BTW start by leasing or buying used aircrafts then go and order some brand new high tech ones.
