Flight Time & Aircraft Performance

Overview

Flight time in MyFly Club is determined by more than just aircraft speed. Ascent time, cruise speed, and turnaround time all affect route performance.

These factors influence:

Route frequency
Aircraft utilization
Profitability
Demand capture

Ascent Time

Aircraft require time to climb to cruising altitude.

Smaller aircraft:

Shorter ascent time
Better for short routes

Large jets:

Longer ascent time
Better for long routes

On short routes, ascent time can make a major difference.

Cruise Speed

Cruise speed affects total travel time.

Faster aircraft:

Shorter flight time
Higher frequency potential
Better business demand

Slower aircraft:

Lower operating cost
Suitable for leisure routes

Turnaround Time

Turnaround time is the time needed between flights.

Short turnaround:

More flights per cycle
Higher frequency

Long turnaround:

Fewer flights
Lower utilization

Range

Aircraft must have sufficient range for a route.

Short range aircraft:

Regional routes
High frequency

Long range aircraft:

Intercontinental routes
Lower frequency

Frequency Impact

Shorter flight time allows more flights per cycle.

More frequency:

Better demand capture
Higher convenience
Stronger competitiveness

Strategy Tips

Use smaller aircraft on short routes
Use faster aircraft for business routes
Minimize turnaround time where possible
Match aircraft range to route distance
