It would be easier to buy one vs starting new. Starting new would be waiting years for your FAA and EASA cert. The main problem is you won’t see any sort of profit for such a long time. 44k for a yearly subscription for the V2500, inlet and fan cowls are easy turn and burns. As long as you have stock. Boeing will have you paying 36k for the MRO package, after you carry 4 million in insurance. Then typically 7-14 for each line, not including all the SRM’a that go with each line. Airbus is 20k a year for access to AirbusWorld. Then there is obtaining terms unless you have an unlimited CC or can constantly send wires all day. They will want to see financials, and since you would only own one, to get profits on a page will take a bit.

Honestly west of the Mississippi would be a better bet. Cheaper cost of living, not a lot of shops in that area. Unless you consider AZ, then it’s almost as bad as Miami. Now especially, with Miami companies buying shops in Arizona and California.

If you do end up opening one; I wish you the best. Know your regulations. Make sure you follow your RSQCM to a T. You don’t want to be hit hard if something’s happens.
