Bigger planes would require more cost to fly, maintain, park, and buy. Therefore bigger planes are better for a busier & longer flight

Having bigger planes means it is harder to fill up all the seats = greater probability of being inefficient.

Bigger plane = greater costs (especially fuel) May be good for some flights, but for shorter flights that don’t fill up it won’t be worth it

Bigger Planes=higher operating costs+fixed costs=costlier tickets if flights are empty.Bigger planes will also reduce frequency of flights!

When they don’t fill their seats, they lose money. The cost of fuel/running the plane would be more than the revenue from the tickets sold.

it depends on the distance. the bigger the plane is and the more fuel they will cost in a short distance.

Running on bigger planes will result in higher costs. In addition, there could be a waste of resource (e.g:not enough passengers)

Because it depends on the duration of the trips. For longer trips, this plane will be beneficial because costumers are willing to pay more

Bigger planes are not always cost effective and the airlines have to be aware of changes in demand for travel due to seasonal changes

Larger planes requires higher fuel and maintanence costs, and if the demand is not enough, the profit margin for airlines is too low.

Higher variables costs: gasoline, maintenance, service
More flights by small airplanes are cheaper than one flight with a bigger airplane -

Costs more; they have to pay for the higher fixed costs even if the seats are not filled

the company knows that they cannot always fill bigger planes.Having a combination of different types of planes will maximize their profits

bigger planes are more expensive to order and maintain. there only beneficial for certain flight routes, otherwise the company losing profit

-A big heavy airplane consumes more fuel raising expenditures of it
-If an airline company fits less seats in a jet, they’ll raise the fares -
Wong, Fung Chuen (Phoenix)
It requires more resources, which increases the flying cost and the flight ticket sell might not be able to cover that cost.

Cuz i think that companies might face the risk of high cost… for example, the fuel. if the seats r not sold out than there will be a huge lost for the companies.
