So much stupidity.

In the real world operating so many aircraft types would make you go bust with the maintenence.

I'd use 737-8 Maxs for short-med haul and 787s for long haul.

It doesn't ironically. BA has 737, 747,767,777,787,a320,a330,a380 and some more. They have around 14 different aircraft types.

I'do use DHC-6 for ultra-short-haul, a320 for short haul, and a380-800 and a380-900. The a380-900 hasn't been announced yet, but it's been on the cards for years.

Q400 for Regional, CSeries for Short-Haul/Medium-Haul, 787-8/787-9 for Long-Haul

 

Maybe an A321-200/neo for High-Density Short or Medium Haul.

Usually I'd go crazy with Soviet airliners, but I know that their aesthetically pleasing nature (IMO) doesn't balance out their junkiness. So I'll only use a few.

 

Regional:

ATR 72, E-170

 

Short-Haul:

Yak-42, CS-300, 737 MAX-8 for high demand routes

 

Medium-Haul:

737 MAX-8, Tu-154M, 767-200

 

Long-Haul:

787-8, A350, MD-11, Il-96

 

Xtra-Long-Haul:

A380, 777-200LR

That's because BA is a massive airline that's been around for years! If you had 4 different types of plane from the very brginning of your airline, you'd go bust. Simple as. Also BA have no A330s

My airline would be all 737-800 and 787-800. It is obvious what i'd use each for.

Realistically speaking. If you just started your airlines, you would probably ended up with B737-800, A320, and A330-300. These three aircraft are the workhorse in the industry. If you able to fill out the seat, B777-300ER is the way to go.

Short and medium haul (up to 3000 miles): EMB 195 e2

 

Long and ultra-long-haul: A380 neo (hasn't been produced yet, but is on the card).

Only if it receives enough orders.

I would run an airline with a route map similar to Southwest, Alaska, and Hawaiian.

Domestic:
DHC-6
Fairchild Dorner 328JET
Bombardier CRJ200LR
Embraer E-170
BAE Avro RJ

Hawaii/Alaska:
Boeing 737 (I don't really care which)

Q400s for a regional fleet. (Save some gas).

 

CSeries for narrowbody mainline (up to 3,000 miles).  (Save some more gas).

 

787s for anything over 3,000 miles. (Save even more gas).

 

Sit back, wait for fuel prices to go up in a few years (given the lead time needed to order new aircraft in the real world), and then laugh when the other can't touch your cost structure from a fuel efficiency standpoint.

Regional: Q400 or ATR 72-500. Workhorses of regional airlines, comfortable and reliable.

Domestic/short haul: 737-800. Do I need to say any more?

Long haul/high density short haul: 787-8/A330-300. The up-and-coming and the workhorse.

Long haul: 777-300ER. In my opinion the best plane in the world.
