I choose the A300-600. I've flone both the 767-300ER and A300-600 before, and found the A300 to be more reliable and with lower maintenance cost than the 767. Even though the A300 Family is the first set of planes Airbus has built, they really did a great job on making a plane to compete against Boeing's 767.

If you want capacity, A300. For range, 763ER.

Ammm, A300-600, but later I'd replace them with A330-300 (or A330-200 if I'm recreating some of the real world airlines) for MH routes.

A300, because 767 looks like an ass.

I'll just add that there's a reason there are hundreds of 767-300ERs still in passenger service, while there are almost no A300s left in passenger service.

Are you kidding? About half of all A300s are still flying

Agreed with the first statement although companies that got into Airbus weren't inexperienced, but second is wrong, 767 was made later to compete with A300. :)

That's not true, by the way A300 is an older model superseded by A330-200 almost 20 years ago. Not because it was bad but because Airbus offered something even better.

 

Since 777 is much bigger than 767 Boeing had no replacement in this class until 787 and today it's still slowly produced because of Boeing's calculations with military tankers and having solid sales as freighter, those are only ones being ordered as of today with 0 passenger versions ordered so I don't think that we'll be seeing a lot of them in pax service for too long.

 

 

...

Anyway, 767 is less profitable but more capable for "realistic" companies in AE, and in AE profit is not a problem so for small companies I'd take 767.

If you want to have a big company, take both, but early on prefer A300 if you want more profit for your investment.

very true, technically the A310,A300,A330 and A340 are all the same base design
