I have 50 Boeing 757s that are all over 10 years old, does anyone know a good replacement for them? Also it has to be an aircraft with enough range to make from the New York to Europe

the Tupolev Tu-214 is a very capable aircraft but it is lacking in seat count with 19 less seats.

WoW!

50 757s that are over 10 yrs will give you a negative profit!. I think it will be good if you replace them with A330-200s or the 753 (or 762ER)


A332s: Normal routes to most of Europe

753s: A little low on passengers (15 Million and less)

762ERs: Airports that have more than 30 Million pax.

763ERs to LHR, MAD, FRA and CDG

I will consider a 773s insted of the 763ERs because LHR and the other high pax (45Million plus) get a lot of demand. 3 should do the trick
Sincerely, Mastafa

They haven't found a replacement in real life really yet either.

^That is very true. The 757 is still in a category that has yet to, and probably won't be, filled for a while. The next closes thing to it, in this game, is either the A321-200 or the 737-900ER.

The 787-8 would be a good substitute when it's available.

The A321 and 737-900ER can do most of the routes flown by the 757. Only a handful of US airlines use them on transatlantic routes. Last time i checked, most of the major US airlines had problems making money. 

As for a fitting replacement, check out Tupolev. In terms of capacity, try the A321.
