Leasing costs of aircraft + depreciation

Wave system works more or less like this (the planning part; how to make PAX transfer is another story):

Departure from your hub at f.e. 8 am - all planes are leaving at 8 am (to North and East let's say).

That means that all your incoming flights must arrive until 6:59 am (if your hub has a minimum transfer time of 1 hour).

Next wave would be f.e. 4 pm - all planes are leaving at 4 pm (this time routes to the South and the West of your territory).

That also means that all your incoming flights must arrive until 3:59 am (if your hub has a minimum transfer time of 1 hour).

If a third wave is possible, depends on the route length you are flying. In the beginning you will perhaps even fly 4 waves (with very short to short routes).

Hope this helps.

Lets say the first departures of the day is at 0300 , and minimum transfer time is 1 h15 .

should those flights be back at 0645 , for the 0800 departures ?

Your first flight is your first "wave flight". Go with 3 waves and all planes must be back in your hub minimum 1h16 before your wave starts.

Don't plan your first flight to be before your wave departure time. Do your plannings around these 3 periods.

You need to remember that the exact arrival time (before the turnaround starts) is when the transfer time starts ticking. Not when your aircraft is ready to depart.
