Direct operating cost typically excludes

  • A.Maintenance
  • B.Administration and marketing
  • C.Fuel
  • D.Flight crew salaries

Answer: B

Correct answer: Administration and marketing

Direct operating cost covers what it takes to fly the aircraft - fuel, flight and cabin crew, maintenance, depreciation, insurance and landing and navigation fees. Administration and marketing are indirect, supporting the airline as a business rather than any particular flight.

The distinction matters because direct operating cost is the figure used to compare aircraft types: it isolates what the aeroplane costs to operate from what the airline costs to run, so two carriers with very different overheads can still compare the same aircraft on a common basis.
