Hello !
I have absolutely no idea of the cost of a flight for an airline.
Well of course it depends on the distance, aircraft, fuel cost, working cost, etc...
For example could someone give me an idea of how much does a flight such as CDG-JFK with a 777 cost for an airline flying this route ?
Thanks

Don't forget to add the cost of maintaining fixed infrastructure for maintenance and service of the flight at both ends-service equipment, supplies, facilities maintenance and staff.

I heard that it currently costs £66,000 to fill the fuel tanks of a BA 744 in the UK. Then there are crew costs (including proportioned rest time, holidays, pension contributions, stay-over expenses and local company staff orientated taxes like National Insurance in the UK); equipment maintenance (ground tugs, baggage handling equipment, airport buses, staff cars - airside and landside - as well as aircraft; equipment amortization; aircraft painting; cabin refurbishment; staff carparks; landing fees; airport aircraft parking costs; stationary costs - tickets to letter-headed notepaper;passenger food and drink; toilet paper; soap; light bulbs for aircraft, ground vehicles and offices; travel agents' commission; printing in-flight magazines; royalties on in-flight movies; laundry (staff uniforms to seat head rests); fuel for ground vehicles and probably one-thousand-and-one other items! In fact if you can think of it, it is probably an airline cost.
