Service pricing

Pay for a decision before you pay for aircraft.

Locust sells route qualification and the evidence behind it. Aircraft, hubs and day-to-day operations stay with the operator.

Services

Start with the smallest piece of work that answers the question.

Most engagements begin with one route. The airframe and subscription work follow only if the route is worth pursuing.

Qualification

Route qualification

£15k to £40k

Per route. Route, aircraft, airspace, weather, failure and cost scenarios, ending in a proceed, redesign or stop recommendation.

Airframe

Airframe evidence

£20k to £50k

Per airframe. The aircraft's performance, failure and contingency cases modelled and documented for the operator's safety case.

Subscription

Continuous evidence

£2k to £6k

Per operator per month. Scenario re-runs when the aircraft, route, demand or rules change, with a report of what moved.

Commercial rules

Clear scope. Named assumptions. A written recommendation.

ScopeOne route and one aircraft per qualification

Extra routes or aircraft are quoted separately, because each needs its own scenarios and evidence.

ChangeRoute, payload and approval changes are controlled

Material changes are re-scoped because they alter the evidence and the operating risk.

LimitsSimulation informs the decision

A recommendation does not replace flight testing or CAA authorisation. The report lists what still needs real-world evidence.

Customer decision

Bring a route and its current cost. We will test the alternative.
