Well, our airline is CanAirways, of PW#1850. We were making little profit so I put all 109 of our jets for sale, which will make a lot of income, no routes, nothing, so I'm asking if it's possible to purchase all long haul jets, since we could afford about 8 757s now, and still have profit, without the support of regional or domestic routes? Or will we go bankrupt????

This is the airline if you want to view it:

Okay, but I found the MD-90-55 is very efficient for it's good capacity.
I would probably upgrade to CRJ-200ERs or something like that.

Yes, it is possible to do all long-haul. Costs will be high though, and you have to be very selective with what routes you want to fly. You must aim at each aircraft earning itself back in 2 years, possibly less, so you can replace them and still make a profit on each plane.

It is possible to make profit on long-haul, however you can make far more profit on short-haul.

It would be possible but it would take years to grow a large airline. It's better to start up a moneymaker airline and make billions in a couple of game years. After that you should scrap/sell all aircraft and buy several long haulers. Would give you some sort of a long haul jump start :lol:
