Contexto
In general, the aircraft operating costs per aircraft-kilometre or per seat-kilometre on a long-haul flight are lower than on a short-haul flight, mainly because of the higher block speed that may be achieved on a long-haul flight and the generally higher aircraft daily utilization recorded.
