There are far too many variables that go into this to give a definitive answer.

That said, average daily aircraft utility in the range of 15-16 hrs for a longhaul aircraft and of 10-11 hrs for a shorthaul aircraft is what most carriers aspire to achieve. If you can manage those numbers fleetwide, you are doing pretty well.
