For long haul I'd go for the 772, ER not LR... main reason being it comes with RR engines, but also the fact the range of the LR is not needed anywhere in the game really. For short haul most certainly the A320series, as it has the same performance of the 737NG but with greater range and are cheaper too


We currently have one 777-200ER and plan on buying more. As for the 737's we plan on just operating the 737-900ER and possibly the 737-700. We are also looking for a replacement for our A318's. Possibility's are ERJ-190, 737-500/600, or ERJ-175.

For the A318 replacement, as you'll already be operating the 737NG, go for the 736.


Our last DC-9 has been replaced flying its last route between Orlando and New Orleans. several new 737-500 have been acquired and we are looking for a new aircraft seating about 120-160 passengers. a 737-700/800, MD-80 and A321 are being considered.

Why did you go for 735s? Why not the 736? It's more efficient, and it would have fit far better into your fleet considering you already have some 737NG series aircraft in your fleet already


I did market research and the 737-500 made about the same as the 737-600 and its cheaper.

Due to contract disputes Locair service will be terminated in the new future. Many routes will be replaced by the larger EMB-110 although some will be ended. Sorry for any confusion, if your flight gets cancelled contact AirCruise for a refund or flight change.

Not sure what you mean. If you want to see your airline status go to rankings and find your airline.

Hope that helps,
