Question: how much does it cost to create your own airline?
Answer: For each aircraft, airlines have to carry initial provisioning and consumables worth $1 million and LRUs of $3.5 million for every three aircraft. For six Airbus A320s, the bill could be $13 million or Rs 58.50 crore a year. It costs Rs 35-40 lakh to train a pilot for A320; training an ATR pilot would cost half.
