If you had 100 mil.
What planes would you buy...or what plane would you save up for???
-
Depends on your mission profile.
New focus city invasion = 9x HS748Es.
Jet service to small airports = 4x Fokker F28-1000.
Mainline jet service to medium-large cities: 3x Caravelle 10Bs.
-
Routes from Europe or USA large base to other large cities? Airbus A320-200 :D
-
In World 3...
-
Unfortunately the A320 isn't available in the 80's.... :cry:
Oh well, at least the 757 comes on in 1983.
-
Depends entirely on the mission objective.
Pacific, gave a good answer above.
Or; you could buy all of my Aérospatiale N 262's. That could very well turn into 160 destinations, carrying a total of 4,640 passengers - 16 gates filled right there. You can even fly above the competition on clogged routes with large aircraft and still turn a decent profit with that type of plane.

Let's see...
In World 3...
Well, I recently did have 100 mill, and I spent it on 2 737-100s and some F27-500s to prepare for a new focus city. 8)
-
I logged in for the first time in a day and a half, and I had about 300 million cash sitting around so I picked up 4 DC9-50s and 2 Caravelle 12s. Just opened up a new hub very close to one of my hubs.....so now my gate use is much more, um, efficient.
Biggest shopping spree.....ever.
-
Id go with Pacific's post and its the planes you need for the job.
So it really depends.
-
Next on the agenda: finding a suitable 30-50 seat replacement for the Gulfstream G3 (hopefully a jet replacement), saving up for the 757, finding an international hub, and a domestic hub that isn't already saturated. Too bad the A320 isn't available in my world yet (out in 1988). Grr.

I had something like that in either the 1990s or the 2000s round last year. I think I bought a boat load of 777s. I raked in like 1.5 billion bucks after sitting idle for a couple of days!!!

Given my penchant to choose Airbus over Boeing, I would have bought a boatload of A340-300s and A330-300LRs (by the way when we're talking airplanes, it's 1 or 2 planes/boat lol)! anyway, it was really cool to be able to order so many planes at once. I suspect the same thing's gonna happen again after exams when I won't have logged in for like, a week. And then I'll just pick up a boatload of 757s (as the new-gen airbuses aren't out here yet :cry:)
Oh, and then they changed the seating capacity for the DC9-40 from 90 to 125 so I had to go back and go on a route-editing spree after my little shopping spree.
-
I came back after a few days away and had heaps of money, so I bought 9 MD-81s (€511,753,347)and an A300 (€139,377,122). Total: €651,130,469. In one spree I spent more than a third of my total spending on aircraft.
-
In the old 1950's round last year they gave us all $1.5bn, I bought a heap of Lockheed Starliners. Good times :D
Oop, drifting off topic :P

Did you buy comets too?

Nope, I had no idea what I was doing, it was my first round.

By boat load of aircraft, I believe I meant a little more than 1 or 2, like at least 5 or 6 777s ;-) Like I said, I had over 1.5 billion Euros at my disposal.
Right now, I don't have nearly as much cash to burn. I had 155 million to burn, and I had already taken delivery of my first 727 and 737-200s. I bumped my DOP up to 6 million, and then I ordered 3 737-100s, and 7 Fokker F27s. Then after waiting for a little bit, I ordered another 737-100, and another F27-500. Now I have 4x 737-100s, 4x F27-100s, and 4x F27-500s. You think I'm ready to launch an arsenalt of new flights from a new focus city out of IAD? ;-)
-
I know....I'm kidding.
And I think you're ready. But hurry before it runs out of gates. Heathrow's already out of gates in my world.
Ordered another 3 caravelles. I now officially have more planes than I know what to do with.
-
Anyway I ordered like 12 planes and I don't konw what I'm going to do with them....I've started phasing out my smaller planes already so that should keep me busy for a while.
-
If you had 100 mil.
What planes would you buy...or what plane would you save up for???
In World 4, 100mil won't buy you much. 105mil will get you a 757.
I would add it to the 100mil or so I already have in my account and buy my 2nd 767-300ER. That would leave about 35mil which would be spent on a 735 after my next payday.

Well, I don't need anymore gates at LHR. I sure hope that there are enough at AMS, CDG, and FRA tho...
-
I'd add it to the 13 million I have now (130 million in maintenance costs) and keep saving up for a 757, which is 126 million with the longer range engines.
-
Well I had 550 million sitting there, so I bought 3 767-300ER's with GE engines meaning a range of something like 7000nm! Thinking about it, I don't really need that for Trans-Atlantic.. :?
