Get rid of your leases.
low-mileage/passenger routes
Kindly elaborate more here. Most of the cities i cover are above 6,000,000 Pax.
Gulfstream I-C
Its perfect except the Pax numbers.
i have been using 50+ seaters til now
1. Short routes. Remember, flying across the world may earn you alot of money. Butflying between two large cities 500 nm apart 6 times a daywill make you far more than that single long one.
2. Just keep to the 50-75 seaters. I suggest you settle on the ATR-42. The Gulfstream is too small and boring.

Thank you for your opinion.
But, what little i have read and understood highlights the 2x.5 and/or 1 freq.
unless, its a mad price war/ dumping capacity conditions.
So, wouldnt more than 1x freq. reduce the price considerably ?
BTW, i only happen to use multi freq to use up the excess hours remaining on the planes and that too when the distance is < 72 NM.
Yes, those leases are good indeed. Just keep them. But from now on, you should just buy ATRs and expand using them. Once you can afford a 737-300, start buying those instead.If i could stop thinking about expansion for a bit, ill be better in doing what you mentioned. But, its in my to do list, and will dealt with asap.
Try to base at an airport which is close to the gates you already have, this will lower your gate rental costs/route.
In my opinion leases aren't that bad, no need to get rid of them.
First, you get to use them immediately, AND you don't need to pay maintenance.
Replace them when the lease time is short or you have oodles of $ to spend.
EDIT: Whoa, lots of leases. But still, no need to get rid of them.
Just buy from now out, it'll be cheaper at first.
Next time, join a world that is a FULL world.Maybe I will, but I do like this unclustered world type.
1#) Kindly suggest around 100 + seaters BOTH for < 2000 Nm and abv it.The aircraft search returned these results:
2#) Or maybe any other configuration of planes which i dont know about and the airline can do ( under 3500 NM).The MD-82/83 are very good. Low-end price, range of 2500/3000 mi. and 172 passengers.
3#)Should i start 3500- 4000 NM 0.5 x freqs too atm, or wait a while ?You can go for it, if you have the right plane; I would suggest the 767-200ER. Change the engine to change the range. The 767-200ER is the best long-range plane, because it has 290 seats, range up to 5800 mi., but a price of just 140 mill.
@ 1993matiasYou're welcome :)
Thank you again.

Considering bases with 25 - 40 mil PAX , would Ilyushin Il-76TD with 108 seats & 4534 NM range a good option ? It looks decent enough. except for the pax capacity.
Also, while flying 4000 NM + routes, how much pax/plane is considered good ?
