| Tiivistelmä: | The paper focuses on the impact of regional aircraft on the US aviation system and examines the technological, operational and cost characteristics of turboprop and regional jet aircraft. Regional aircraft are 40-60% less fuel efficient than their larger narrow- and wide-body counterparts, while RJs are 10-60% less fuel efficient than TPs. Direct operating costs per revenue passenger kilometer are 2.5-6 times higher for regional aircraft because they operate at lower factors and perform fewer miles over which to spread fixed costs. |
