If you were starting an airline and had to make a fleet, what would it be?

I would do this:

• EMB 190s (Domestic flights)
• 787-3 (Domestic & Caribbean flights)
• 787-8 (Trans-Atlantic/Pacific flights)

[SQ748]

787-8, 787-9, 787-3, 747-8I, 772LR, 773ER. All of my favorite a/c!

[EXTspotter]

A318, A319, A320, A321, 736W, 73GW, 73HW, 739W.

I know people say that 737s and A32S are boring. I love them.

[drv4truk]

D328, Atr42, Atr72, A318, B737, B738, B752, B767, B777

[Hydrogeek]

Q400, EMB 170, EMB 190, 737-8W, 737-9ER, 787 (-3, -8, -9) 777 -3ER (possibly A380)

[Glennos]

atr-72's / Q400's / Saab's for short hops <= 400NM
739's <= 200NM
787-8's >2000 <6700NM
777's > 6700NM

[YamazaruNinja]

x10 (737-800)
x10 (737-900)
x5 (Beech 1900D)
x5 (747-800)
x10 (717-200)

I wouldn't focus on too many long range flights.
One of my airline's hub would be at Milwaukee-General Mitchell.

[Maestro69]

My fleet would be:

Regional Fleet - ATR 42, Q400s and EMB-190
Domestic/Continental - A319, A320, B737-900ER, A330-300
International - A330-200, A330-300, B777-300ER,A340-500, A380

Thats about it..

CRJ-200s and -900s for low density regional flights.
E175s and E190s for regional and some domestic.
757-200s and -300s for domestic.
737-700s, -800s, and -900s for domestic as well.
747-800s, 777-200s, and 787s for international.

[flightsimer]

wow, alot of people's airlines wouldnt survive...

mine is:
regional-Q400/Q500 (its being looked at, its a strected of the 400 to the 900's length)
mainline- 737-700ER/-800/-900ER/ -900ER (high density), 787-3
international- 737-700ER, 787-8/-9/-10 and possibly the 747-8I

[FlyWorld Air]

Would my airline survive? Or would half my A330's mysteriously disappear, along with my cash...?

[flightsimer]

:sdrool: ya i think you would... only "out of place" aircraft u have is the E190... everything else has common ratings... but i dont think you would A want to fly the Q100 over the 200 seeming how the 200 is better... and B either is no longer produced (the -200/300 are being ended next year) C the q400 is actually better than the q200, it only needs around 30% pax to be profitable...
