At least in the sandbox server, only Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer had orders last time I checked. (well, apart from my orders) Could someone please explain why?

Smaller aircraft tend to be less profitable due to several reasons:

 

1: Higher employee costs: You can't pay your regional airliner crews less even though they make less money than larger aircraft.

 

2: Blue (connecting) passengers: Unless you are operating a regional airliner between very small airports without a hub, its more profitable to use a 737 or A320 rather than a B1900 or a DHC6 since connecting passengers will fill up the excess seats.

 

3: Slots: A small aircraft will have to fly the same trip multiple times to carry the same amount of passengers as a larger aircraft which means that you'll use more slots.
