Hey

 

I want the best airplanes in terms of payments for maintenance and base cost BUT I WANT AIRPLANES WITH HIGH LOADS. I want big ones like 250-300 passengers so instead of using multi airplanes for one route I use big ones

 

Thanks

767-200ER

767-200ER

How much is the maintenance and base cost if you tried it before?

[TJ/TeeJay]

767-200ER is quite good indeed. A330-200/300 will work too, however the capacity is between 400 and 440.

BTW, are there any airplanes that use the same maintenance base? because the base is very expensive and sometimes it reaches 16M

 

like for example if I get the 767 what airplanes can I use under the same base?

and if I buy the 330 what airplanes will work?

 

I know that some A319 or A320 may work on the same base

[Isa Al]

BTW, what do you think about the 767-300ER? is it better than the 200ER or not?

Base costs are 5% of the brand new unit cost. Very few planes come under the same bracket. A320 series, 737 Jurassic, Classic and Next Gen, ATR 72s and Q400s for example, will all come under the same.

BN2 all the way.

BN2 all the way.

BN2 is a very small airplane

Im quite new here at airline empires but my favorites are 737-500 or 737-400 for flights inside Europe since I always start there,I like that plane cause it gives enough seats plus fuel usage per seat is acceptable.For Long Haul i order as above stated 767-200ER and 767-300ER

737 very cheap , excellent range and seats

[angelo airlines]

I mean 737-300 you can install then TV and wifi

Isa, if you have more frequent flights on a route (for example using 3 737s per week as oppose to 1 747 per week) people using the route will be happier because you would (in real life) provide them with more options on which day they can travel. This will give your rep a slight boost. If you are doing short-haul routes (under 2000 km) I would reccommend the 737, A320 or MD80.90-50 families. They offer good value, decent seats and reasonable costs/fuel. Remember not to have hundreds of planes from different families, if you keep it basic you can share spare parts between AC and save money. If you do 2000-3500/4000 medium haul i would reccommend the A330 or 767/757 families then with long haul it doesnt really matter too much in my opinion, you'll still make money; just choose what you like and makes most sense to your situation. Also bear in mind that some airports have short runways so can't use larger AC.
Hope that helps (but i'm not going to blurt any more secrets!!)

I just found the Airbus A300-600R. 361 seats and 4,000 miles. I'm using it for my routes from Oslo, Norway.
