In older game worlds, the DC-9-30 can fly 2,400+ miles without weight restrictions. It's sort of like the A319LR of the 70s/80s. In the past I've been running DC-9-30s on routes like MIA-BUR, BOS-FAT, TPA-BOG, and CLT-SBA.
757-200/200M/300 are pretty good aircraft to have.
767-200ER for long haul. Lower capacity, but super long range.

757s. they are helpful for 100Y daily demand on transcon routes.

Hear me out:
A319LR/A321
B738
B717-200
E190LR
The B737-700ER comes out a lot later than the A319LR, and the A321 outperforms the B737-900ER in almost every category anyway (apart from cost...)
So I keep my A320 family "specialized" while just using the B738 for general operations.
As for B717-200 and E190LR? Well, you've never lived till you try them out.
B757-200 best plane you can't change my mind

At that point I just slap 7 or 8 B737-800's on the route lol. I save my 757's for transatlantic routes.

In reality the 757-300 is one of the greatest aircraft! Widebody capacity with narrowbody economics is a huge winner! It was the right aircraft at the wrong time sadly! Never really got the love it deserved.... :'(
Mega Blessings!!!

IL-96-300 is a fuel guzzler, but its low upfront cost makes it ideal for rapidly scaling an airline. It lets me break into 5000-mile+ routes way earlier than I would otherwise be able to. They're usually the first widebody I buy in a playthrough. They are starting to hurt me though as I ordered too many from the factory and signed 10-year leases. Next playthrough I might try ditching them once I reach 5B+ valuation rather than keeping them as a core part of my fleet.

In my opinion:
A300-600 (either version) great aircraft, fits a decent niche, shares maintenance with A310 making operating both a breeze. Also the long range gives great ability to expand.
A340, the entire family. A340-300 is a great replacement for the SP and has an unmatched range until the 777-200ER. A340-500 offers crazy range while slotting into the A330 maintenance cost, and again is unmatched range until the 777-2LR. A340-600 is alright, its not great but not terrible.
BAE146/Avro RJ. I have seen people sleep on this regional jet, and that's sad because its got incredible short field performance (It is the last jet you can buy that can land at Toronto Billy Bishop until the A318) and is decently sized with good range.
Likewise, the CRJ series often lands here, especially the 200 and 100. While the base CRJ-200 isnt great, the ER and LR are pretty good, and can operate some skinny routes that any other aircraft wouldn't really be able to.
The A321-100. Sure its got short range, but it is really helpful on shorter, higher demand routes.
B753, A343, Tupolev 214, A306R.
Personally, I rate those highly already. 753 is extremely efficient
747-8i. The same efficiency/seat as an A380, and the perfect size for a lot of routes in the 2010s. I try to allocate exactly one or two aircraft per route, so it fits my playstyle.
The 777-300. It's way more efficient than the -ER in AE (for some reason), and has similar range. The only drawback is the runway req.
