Thank you very much , does this also count for maintenance ?

Maintenance cost starts going up after 5 years of age by a linear increase.

On one of my routes I have a Hire rating and lower prices then my competitor , but they are fully booked , Is there a reason for this ?

It’s usually due to a greater number of onward connections. Although a large number of people may be travelling on a route such as LHR-JFK, an also large number of people are going to be travelling LHR-JFK-Elsewhere, as well as JFK-LHR-Elsewhere.
