747-8i is a stunningly brilliant aircraft to have when possible, so profitable
Word. The A380 might technically speaking burn less fuel but it's too big for a lot of sectors. The 747-8i is unbelievably useful.

EARLIER WORLDS
->30 seats: Ilyushin IL-14P
- 30 to 70 seats: ATR-42-600
- 70 to 100 seats: BAC One-Eleven 200
-100 to 150 seats Ilyushin IL-18D
-150 to 250 seats: Boeing 707-320C or Tupolev TU-114 or DC-8-50
-250 to 450 seats: Airbus A310-300
- 450 plus seats: Boeing 747-8i
LATER WORLDS
->30 seats: Raytheon Beech 1900C
- 30 to 70 seats: Hawker Siddeley HS 748
- 70 to 100 seats: Bombardier Dash Q400 NextGen or Embraer EMB 170 LR
-100 to 150 seats: Airbus A318
-150 to 250 seats: Airbus A319NEO or A320NEO or Tupolev TU-214
-250 to 450 seats: Boeing 787-8 or Airbus A330-300 or Airbus A340-300E
- 450 plus seats: Boeing 747-200B
I find it almost laughable how easy it is in AE to choose the A320 family over the 737s...and the 787s over the A350s.
Nope. A318 is absolutely out of the question, The Bombardier CSeries is the obvious answer. Plus, the Cessna F406 is way better than the Beech 1900C if you use it correctly.

It isn't. Many major sectors such as LGW-JFK produce ample demand for at least 2 daily A380 flights. As long as your intended route is quite major, then the A380 will work just fine.

i quite like the Q400's they serve me well.
Personally i think the Boeing 757 is the best for the 220-240 seat range as it is versatile and in my circumstances, making a good amount of money
There is no best option for the 220-240 seat market. Every available option has shortfalls:
Boeing 757-200:Terrible Fuel efficiency. Great range
Airbus A321-200: Decent fuel efficiency. Vastly inferior range
Airbus A321neo: Decent fuel efficiency. Inferior range

Lowest costs =/= cheapest at the end of the day. Not sure about the figures, but the A319LR costs about 15% more than the -100. 15% higher maintenance, 15% more money taken from your airline. You could offset this increase on LH flights, but the -100 is a better deal.
Really. The LR is a way better deal than the-100. Afterall, 13200/160 for a plane doing 511 mph is rather great when you compare it to some other rivals. The -100 has 14080/160. It only does 3 mph extra. It, isn't good what so ever. At one point, I had the neo, the LR and the-100 operating on the same route on full seats. The neo produced 39k profit, the LR 30k profit, and the -100 24k profit. The difference is exorbant. However, if it is available, I would recommend the neo for flights below 3000 miles. It's great there. However, the LR has an unparalleled ability to fly thin long haul routes profitably, unlike the 737-700ER. Oh my, that was horrendous!

Is suppose the 757-200, in spite of it's fuel efficiency-issues, will solve a lot of headaches for a lot of players when they're sorting out their routes. That range is very, very handy.

Since most modern world start at 1990 and above. Here is my list:
Bombardier Q400
A319 and A319LR
A320-200
A321-100
B737-400
B737-800WL
B737-900ER
B757-300
B767-400ER
A330-300
A340-200
A340-300
B777-200
B777-300
*B747-400, although the fuel consumption might a bit higher than typical modern airplane.
Those are the aircraft that worth the money mainly because the lower fuel consumption vs capacity and distance. I wouldn't put my money on other aircraft.

Q400spam cheapest spam.
Exactly, the production rate also helps it a lot.

I like the Antonov AN-140. 52 seater that makes a really nice profit for a prop. Modern, too.

For later games, I've found the following being the most profitable in size order:
0-50 pax - Do228NG
50-100 pax - Q400NG
100-150 pax - CS100/300
150-200 pax - A320neo
200-250 pax - A321neo
250-300 pax - 787-8
300-350 pax - 787-9
350-400 pax - A350-1000
400-450 pax - A380
450 & above - A380

Well how many of these routes do you have
Plus with 747-8i you can put more frequencies which increases rating

I don't think 764ER is good. I like 763ER better.
A330/340 and 777s are the BEST for longhauls
I also think 787-9 and A350-900 should appear on the list

B767-300ER
A300-600
B777-300(ER)
B777-200LR (if you have ultra long flights)
A330-300 best all around
and of course A320s
737s
747s in early stages
A380s if you can fill them
E-Jets are good also

Posted 03 November 2016 - 06:45 AM
757s are also good because you can put them on thin transatlantic flights ex Providence to London

avoid 747SP they are less profitable
avoid supersonics
avoid helicopters
avoid Russian planes, their fuel economy is really bad maybe TU-204 is not that bad but Ive never flown it
Avoid small planes
buy: 767 except 400ER all 757s 320s 330-300 350-900R 380s 747s except for SP

757s are the best bc you can put it on thin transatlantic routes and they come out way earlier than A321s
