5. Business Model
• Nearly 70 per cent of the costs are fixed, which includes aviation turbine fuel (ATF) expenses,
landing and parking charges, and leasing cost.
• It has to manage the remaining 30 % well to stay profitable.
• To reduce costs it decided to make Delhi a hub because it has low ATF prices and a less
congested airport compared to other metros.
• Fuel costs account for 45-50 % of an airline's cost whereas airport cost is less than 10 %.
• At the planning stage, a huge emphasis was given on costs and reducing the time to get
things ready
• The airline decided to go for simple leasing instead of the sale-and-lease-back model, which
many domestic carriers follow
• It has kept the manpower lean. With total staff strength of over 400 and five planes, the
plane-to-employee ratio is about 80, which is lower than the ideal ratio of 90.
