AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the impact of rising oil prices on the profitability of long haul versus short haul flights. Long haul aircraft typically incur costs from only one take-off and landing, making them more efficient under high fuel prices. In contrast, short haul flights involve multiple take-offs and landings, leading to higher operational costs and lower profit margins. Overall, the consensus suggests that long haul operations are generally more profitable for airlines, despite the challenges posed by fluctuating oil prices. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for airline profitability strategies.

when the oil price increase which will have high impact either long haul aircraft or short haul. I mean which kind of aircraft keeps the airliner profitable. Though the increase in oil price will have an impact on both kind of aircraft.

Basically, long haul aircraft have one take-off and landing, whereas the short haul will have more number of take-off's and landings. So, relatively short haul is quite expensive and brings less profits to the airliner.
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
