I paid more for this type on my fights than the 2,457$ mentioned. It really depends on the selection of your maintenance-contractor as well as the individual scheduling of your aircraft. High utilization results in higher costs to fix all the small malfunctions. Please note that the Avroliner isn´t the cheapest aircraft when it comes to maintenance.

AFAIK, costs for maint are strictly direct, meaning they are constant for a route-type-age-contractor combination, no matter how you utilize the airframe.
Really? This would be new information for me. Thanks! I had the impression that the amount of cycles flown directly influence the status of a particular aeroplane.
