Are airplanes in it for the profit?
Discussion
This is going to sound like a terribly stupid question so forgive me, but i know nothing about what im asking so i am likely way off.
In a typical airplane it carries 200 passengers, now if them 200 passengers pay 250 each for the flights that is 50,000 pounds profit. Now the pilot needs to be paid, the staff on board, all the preparation of the plane and the fuel must cost an absolute fortune because it has to meet certain standards.
Also the plane when fully laden must get less than 1MPG surely.
Do airplanes actually make much money?

I suppose he means where does the profit come from considering all the expenses (not to mention renting out the plane).
Especiallly on low-cost flights that are about £30.
Yeh i mean planes cost a fortune, for the price we pay it doesent seem like it could cover everything that needs to be paid for, i mean even staff who drive the buses to the airplanes, little things like this.Especiallly on low-cost flights that are about £30.
