I agree with the sentiment, but costs do impact revenue when those costs represent an investment in something that can be used to increase revenue, like employees.
Nothing compared to loss of life and suffering of the Ukrainian people of course, but: this is sad.
From the article: "It will cost over USD3 billion to restore the plane [...]".
This seems extremely high. I'd expect maybe high hundreds of millions. I appreciate that they're hardly like-for-like, but the A380 unit cost was something like $400M, which I think has maybe double the tonnage of the An-225. Where does the extra couple of billion come from?
The A380 is $400m per plane coming off a production line. The total programme cost for the A380 is something like $30bn.
There was only one An-225 built, and it was built 34 years ago. Presumably the tooling and much of the manufacturing knowledge is long gone. Antonov as an aircraft manufacturer was barely a going concern before all this - it's fallen a long way from its Soviet heyday. They haven't built a single aircraft since 2016 - and I can't imagine having a battle fought at your main facility helped things.
Making one of something always costs a lot more than making many.
