$100/barrel fuel

[ptbodale]

So you want to know how much fuel it costs to move your butt from point A to B on an airplane when fuel costs $100/barrel. Here are some stats from the Air Canada fuel department.

"Fuel is the greatest single expense item for Air Canada. Fuel remains a concern, and it gave us challenges last quarter, adding $32 million to our costs. It would have been $150 million more if not for our hedging programs, the stronger Canadian dollar and benefits of taking freighters out of service.
A few interesting “fuel factoids” on a per seat/per route basis here:"

Route Aircraft Fuel cost/seat with fuel at $100/bbl
YYZ-HKG B777 $423/seat
YYZ-LGA E175 $30/seat
YYZ-LHR B767-300 $171/seat
YYZ-SFO A320 $93/seat
YYZ-YUL A320 $18/seat
YYZ-YVR B767-300 $102/seat

Interesting with the lowest price for an Economy seat at about $789/pax for up to $6,250/pax for Executive/Flexible seating from YYZ to HKG. {Air Canada website.}

Looks like those 767's are getting a little expensive to fly. I wonder what the comparison will be like with the 787....

According to Boeing, the 787 will use 20% less fuel, which would be a substantial savings.

Jet Fuel should be pretty cheap..it is only KEROSENE..!! it is not AVGAS..I wonder how much would cost traveling from point A to B on AVGAS?

Not really - kerosene and avgas ultimately come from the same raw material and are both subject to much the same production, refining, transportation, distribution, storage, finance and corporate overhead costs.
