🔴Most people see aviation from the perspective of a passenger. They see fares, delays, baggage fees, and cramped seats. I see the machinery underneath: ➡️ fixed costs, ➡️ fuel exposure, ➡️ route economics, ➡️ margin pressure, ➡️ utilization, and ➡️ operational discipline. After more than 30 years in aviation, I can tell you this plainly: A full plane can still lose money. And so can a full calendar, a full client roster, or a fully booked month.
