Revenue Model Builder
Block hours, charter rates and contracted retainers — the revenue side of the venture file. Tests whether this fleet can service its capital before the appraisal does.
Reads the capital requirement and the debt service implied by the funding stack, so the capital service test runs against your own model rather than a figure typed twice.
Step 1
Revenue segments
Add each revenue-generating segment. Each card shows the aircraft, rate, hours and contract mix that drives it.
Every figure a new segment arrives with — rate, direct operating cost, utilisation, aircraft value — is an indicative planning default, not a sourced benchmark. They exist to give you something to argue with. Replace them with your own rates and costs before this model is shown to anyone.
Step 2
10-Year projection
| Year | Revenue | DOC | Contribution | Cumulative |
|---|
Step 3
Break-even by aircraft
| Aircraft | Rate/hr | DOC/hr | Contribution/hr | Hours to B/E (owned) | Hours to B/E (leased) |
|---|
Step 4
Sensitivity
Adjust rate, utilisation and DOC to see how contribution changes.
Assumptions and limits
Rate bands are JK & Associates planning ranges. Seasonality is applied to Year 1 only using monthly index factors; Years 2–10 use a flat annual average. No discounting — all figures are nominal. Break-even hours are computed as annual capital charge ÷ (rate − DOC); for leased aircraft the annual lease rental replaces the capital charge.
This tool is a planning aid, not investment advice, a valuation, or a substitute for a bankable financial model. Obtain independent financial and legal advice before committing capital.
A revenue model that survives diligence looks different from this.
This tests whether the fleet can service its capital at indicative rates. A defensible revenue case needs a real demand study, contracted anchor clients and a yield model that holds under utilisation stress.
What a lender or DFI tests before underwriting a revenue projection — demand evidence, contracted anchor share, and the sensitivities they run themselves. Enter your details and it’s yours immediately.
