• Compare the cost of delay for using a Boeing 737-800 with an Airbus A320 and explain the reasons for the cost difference.With the calculation tasks of delay cost for a Boeing 737-800 and compare it to the Airbus A320, there are a few procedures to follow. But first what is the definition of delay and based on the report it states that when considering aeronautical delays various definitions can be used. For the purposes of the Study, the default definition adopted is that of the off-block/on-block time of an aircraft compared to the time published by the operator. The decision to consider delays to the published schedule was made primarily because it is by far the simplest to quantify and is the most commonly adopted metric in the industry. However, the delay is measured against the last flight plan on file. Delay costs are calculated at the tactical and strategic level for different aircraft types and different cost scenarios, i.e. at the highest European network level. For a plane to be delayed on land or air means losing revenue in g...
