They would choose smaller planes to marginalize on economies of scale. Save on fuel costs and try and cut overall costs.

plane insurance also increases
more pressure to sell tickets
has to be specific to routes and destinations -

Realistically, airlines understand that customers will buy airline tickets regardless of “leg room”. (Inelastic demand)

– The bigger the plane, the harder it is to fill up consistently. Too many available seats = less chances for people to score cheap tix.

Because it waste fuels. Fuel costs money so if the plane isn’t full with customers, the expense is greater than revenue. Aka net loss

Need to meet bottom line, smaller planes can have more flights… If customers want more leg room, they can pay more, fly first class.

Bigger planes= more fuel= more expensive costs. It’s not economical to use bigger planes when there aren’t as many customers, so it would be a waste.

1.) A bigger plane = more maintenance costs
2.) decrease in profits if plane can’t be filled
3.) Offer other “comforts” instead of space -

– inefficient (cannot guarantee it’s going to be full every time)
– have to sell tickets at lower price to make sure the plane gets full -

Fuel is one of the largest costs associated with running an airline, larger planes need more fuel, this would drive up seat prices.

First, they need very experienced captains which needs more salary cost. Second, using larger plane means increase the cost.

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

Seats may not all be filled up, costs/ticket price would increase, no guarantee customers will not choose competitor airlines.

Because the plane could be too big for the number of customers, and more fuel could be used unnecessarily. Higher maintenance fee as well.

the cost of the bigger plane is more than the extra customer satisfaction
-

To operate bigger planes simply increase the costs and there are also others ways to satisfy customers.

Costs. It costs more to make bigger planes, and run them. They also need to hire more people to work in these planes and service them.

Much more operation costs come with bigger planes which would lower the profit. Inefficiency of possibility of having empty trips also occur
