The 757's have been put as back up. All of the b752 are now based at JFK and most of them are servicing European destinations. In other news, the NY and NJ Port of Authority has declared B-World Airways the biggest operator at JFK in terms of passengers and destinations served from JFK, a tittle we are proud of since JFK is one of the most prestigious international getaways. We currently own 28 gates at JFK, and are expecting to reach 35 gates as more destinations will be added, accomplishing our goal of connectiong the world to New York by one airline.
As of April year 8, all our 757's have been retired from service. Routes serviced by the 757 have been taken over by the A319. The fate of the 757's have yet to be decided, which is why they'll remain in storage at Orlando.
On other news, service to Hawaii has been temporarily suspended.
Fleet managament has advised addition of CRJ class jets, mainly to enforce regional routes.
B-World Airways now introduces a new flight school, with a fleet of 4 cessna 404 and 22 on order. People aspiring to be f/o and captain in B-World Airways must start in this small planes. The academy is located in Wilkes-Barre. In other news, we have resumed orders of Airbus A319 to increase our connections into Mexico, and nonstops from east to west. The Airbus A319 will also replace our aging B752, which are slated for retirement in the nest 3 months.
The 757's were one of the workhorses of B-World Airways and help get us into trasatlantic markets. Unfortunately these planes are now almost 5 years old (which is a lot in this game) and they are bringing us serious maintenance problems and fuel inficiency. The replacement for this equipment are the 787 and A319.
A new PR will be announced when the 757 are retired, and their final fate (either sold or mothballed) along with the plane reg (number in the game) and fleet name.
I would say hubs increase the load factor, for example i have a hub at JFK with more than 21 gates, even if the OD load factor is low it is completed by the connecting factor. That's why some airlines don't loose passengers, so you might want to choose a less heavily populated route or a more efficient plane. Oh, and sometimes the routes are not profitable even though the planes fly full, so the guy might be losing money on the long run.
