The developed cost function estimates the unit flight cost for different sizes of aircraft and it is derived from the data covering airline operating cost in the period from 2007 to 2009‚ (Aircraft commerce‚ No.51‚ No.57 and No.64). The total number of different aircraft whose flight unit costs are used for getting the unit cost curve amounts to 27.
