As fuel costs rise, so does the cost to fly your aircraft. In the air, you must consider the direct fixed costs in addition to fuel, such as lubricants, periodic maintenance, and the scheduled overhaul. Transporting your aircraft on the ground saves money, especially with larger, more high-performance aircraft.
Here, we've taken the fixed costs of a few different helicopters and plotted them on a graph so you can see the savings compared to transporting with the Mobile Hangar™.
Furthermore, there are other indirect savings that vary depending on your specific circumstances, such as: hangar facilities (FBO), crew (including pilots, mechanics, and other support crew), insurance, aircraft down-time (for maintenance and overhauls), and lost revenue due to weather delays.
