Question

Question Help An airline company must plan its fleet capacity and its​ long-term schedule of aircraft usage. For one flight​ segment, the average number of customers per day is​ 70, which represents a 65 percent utilization rate of the equipment assigned to the flight segment. If demand is expected to increase to 9292 customers for this flight segment in three​ years, what capacity requirement should be​ planned? Assume that management deems that a capacity cushion of 2020 percent is appropriate.

Answer 1

Help An airline company will aim for a 115 customer per flight capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The management sees a 20% unused capacity as convenient so, in three years the 92 customers per year should be 80% of the capacity per flight

92 / 0.8 = 115

The company should plan for a capacity of 115 to keep the 20% cushion
