Aircraft Ferrying
The decision to ferry an aircraft is quite simple; however the route economics and pitfalls (political, security, route mileage, costs, seasonal climate) need careful analysis. A failure to optimise the route to suit the specific type to be ferried can have deep financial and operational implications.
By example an avoidable transit stopover can cost as much as $6000 for ground handling let alone the infringement on the working crew time, turnaround time, extra fuel consumption to recover former Cruise flight levels and route position, perhaps hotac, per diems and finally perhaps punitive fuel prices for uplifts + DOC’s, FOC’s
