| Abstract: | The relationship between aircraft cost and size for large commercial passenger jets is studied. The authors develop an econometric cost function for aircraft operating cost based on a translog model, and it is found that economies of aircraft size and stage length exist at the sample mean of their data set, and that for any given stage length there is an optimal size, which increases with stage length. |
