Quantifying subjective aspects is a difficult task that requires a great dedication of time from researchers and analysts. Nevertheless, one of the main objectives of it is to pave the way for a better understanding of the focused aspects. Fleet standardization is one of these subjective aspects that is extremely difficult to turn into numbers. Although, it is of great importance to know the benefits that may come with a higher level of standardization for airlines, which may be economical advantages, maintenance facilitation and others. A more standardized fleet may represent lower costs of operations and maintenance plus a much better planning of routes and flights. This study presents the first step on developing an index, hereto called 'Fleet Standardization Index' or FSI (or IPF in Portuguese, for 'Indice de Padronizacao de Frotas'), that will allow senior airline planners to compare different fleets and also simulate some results from maintaining or renewing their fleets.
