Pretty much this, but an honourable mention to the Boeing 757 family for the 450 pax demand segment.

 

The -200 is a competitive 239-seater, available from 1983-2005.

The -300 is an excellent 295 seater available from 1999-2005 and the stats are so good it's basically Boeing's dream "middle-of-market" 797.

 

A black horse I've yet to experiment with is the Tu-214, a 210 seater available from 1996 to game end. Slightly higher fuel burn but ridiculously cheap purchase price.

I've yet to try the Boeing 757 family myself... As regards the Tu-214, it's a fantastic aircraft to use for a young airline getting started, because it's so cheap it meant I got on a sound financial footing quickly, and was able to expand sufficiently that I was eventually able to buy enough A320s/A321s to replace them all before the end of the game. Same goes for the Il-96-400, which has a roughly equal seating capacity to the A330-300, albeit with a shorter range.

Thanks for the advice on the Tu-214. The 757-200 wasn't very good price-wise until recently when the price of the A32X family, amongst other aircraft were raised considerably. Now, the 752 is cheaper than an A321-200 and when winglets arrive, will match the A321 in fuel burn.

Has anyone tried the C919? Ive just seen it has a fuel flow of 11,827 and a pax capacity of 190... It has roughly the same seating capacity as the A320NEO and 737-MAX8, but has less fuel flow than both of them. It's range is it's only disadvantage... but thats no problem if your using it domestic in US/China/Europe.

 

I´ve got one, one time.

The plane was quite decent, they are more fuel efficent and faster as the A320NEO, but they need a longer Runway which is for airports with a runway length of under 6000 feet a problem.

They're also very short-range, which can also present a challenge if you're using them to replace the A320 or Boeing 737 family.

For around 400 seats, the Boeing 787-9 is by far the best plane out there.

No it isn't. The A350-900 has a slightly higher max payload than the 787-9 but a smaller fuel flow. Even the A340-300 has a better fuel flow in game terms...

Using both A350-900s and 787-9s at the moment on my airline, profits are definitely higher with the A350s.

737-300/400 were the planes I started profiting with.Try to lease 2-6 before you start buying/leasing other planes.

717-200s are great!


717-200s are my go-to for short-haul.

Hey Radagast Guess we will have to wait and see when the server comes back up. If you followed the steps from Bad Karma it should work

I may be replying very late but for "middle" haul rroutes, i love using the Bristol Britannia, it has a low lease prize, burns less fuel and can land on horter runways than for example the 707, but as soon as i can afford it, i try to use the 757 or TU-204 instead, if possible. On longer routes with not enough demand to use 777s, i use A319s, later on A319LRs, the ATR-72 is one of the best planes on short routes. The TU-204 is a cheaper alternative to the 757, it is quick, has low maintaining costs and needs less runway, it serves me well.

Short distance, 737-400 or A320.

Medium distance, 757-200.

Long distance, Il-96, A310-200, and 767-200ER.

Short haul (0-1250 miles): A320

Medium Haul (1250-2500 miles): A300 (Assuming it is between big markets such as NYC-LAX, BOS-SEA). If there's less demand, the 757-200

Long Haul: 767-300ER
