Payload Optimization Comparison Of Airbus 330 – 300 And Boeing 777 – 300ER Aircraft

Abstract

Aircraft analysis is one of the strategy that are applied in the airline industry to be able to compete with other airlines by determining which aircraft is more effective, efficient, and economic. In fact, some airlines cannot apply this strategy. With this analysis, the airline is able to compete. By Seat Load Factor (70%) calculation, estimated weight of seat vacancy can substitute to Cargo Allowable. The result of calculation and comparison will produce the effectiveness aircraft on payload optimization. The result of comparison analysis is able to be concluded that A 330-300 aircraft is the aircraft that can better implement Payload Optimization. The lowest Total Operating Cost in the amount of US 14,042.94.- Dollar compared to the B 777-300ER aircraft that have Total Operating Cost in the amount of US 21,887.06.- Dollar. With a larger Total Operating Cost is owned by B 777-300ER, A 330-300 has a greater profit of US 13,742.62.- Dollar compared to B 777-300ER which has profit of US 13,433.94.- Dollar.
