Abstract :
Air transportation is an alternative that can be chosen for medium to long
distance travel. One of the reasons for choosing the air route is the relatively
faster travel time. Banda Aceh and Lhokseumawe are 2 major cities in Aceh,
which Banda Aceh is the capital of Aceh Province and Lhokseumawe is a
municipality, both of the city have considerable tourism potential in the province
of Aceh.
The opening route analysis in this study was carried out by analyzing
aircraft selection, market aspects, and calculating the operational costs that will
be incurred for one trip on the Lhokseumawe - Banda Aceh.
The Lhokseumawe - Banda Aceh route uses a ATR72-500 plane, the flight
distance from Malikussaleh Airport to Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport is 123.22
nm. From the calculation results, the total operating cost is IDR 37,351,170.20.
So that the basic fare ticket price with profit 15% is IDR 1,491,452.98 (for seat
factor 40%) and IDR 596,581.19 (for seat factor 100%). While the basic fare
ticket price with profit 20% is Rp. 1,556,298.76 (for a seat factor 40%) and IDR
622,519.50 (for a seat factor 100%).
