What do u think is the best regional aircraft for the 1980's to 1990's? i believe that the saab340 but that doesn't come out for 4 years in W8 :(
-
Fokker F-27 or ATR 72-200. Or maybe Convair 640s for Australasia.
-
HS-748E for Australia.
-
F27-200 for Regional Australia
-
At first: Hurel Dubois HD321 (44-seater,~ 4.4m) :wink:
Planes within 60 seats: F-27 (Short-haul)(~6.8m ~ 8.6m) and CV-240 ~ 440, 640(Medium ~ Long-haul) (~7.4m ~ 10.2m)
and Let L-610 and its varient
After that: ATR-72-210, Q-400 and BAe Jetstream J-61 /ATP
The reason why I choose -72-210 is its cheaper than 200 (2m cheaper) and less fuel. Speed is not really important in regoinal planes.
Thats why airlines are usin Beech 1900D (or something like that) as a regional airliner. :wink: :wink: :wink:
-
Gulfstream 1 or 2 low seats high profit
-
saab 2000s are a litle pricy but worth it
-
I'm in world 9 so I don't know exactly how its like in world 8, but I think Fokker F27-400 is great for regional routes to airports with >1M (i've been using them for service to cities with around 300-500k passengers, going as low as 9k for one of my shortest hops)
they're good for short flights because they aren't very fast, but are rather economical with fuel. :D
fokker f27-200 is also good.
-
EMB-120.
-
Dornier Do-328-100/110...
-
Yeah I have some 328s and they work well. Also for W10s I'm trying CRJs.
-
In W10 I'm going against the tide and going with ERJs. I'm only operating one type of CRJ and that is the 700.
-
I might consider that once they come out, I'll go for the better one surprisingly enough :D
-
I have a thing against doing something just because everyone's doing it. Just for the record. :wink:
But 1996 definitely going with ERJs. I saw pictures of the CRJ-100/200 and they're butt ugly. Too short in comparison to the wings. :lol: ERJs on the other hand are nice and slick (and more balanced).
-
Yep CRJ's look like little fat things. SO we have ERJ's in 1996? The ERJ-145 I'm guessing?
-
Boeing 747-400D
-
Boeing 747-400D
:lol: :lol:
A-380 may be better :wink:
-
Boeing 747-400D
:lol: :lol:
A-380 may be better :wink:
yes, sadly the frequency is limited due to boarding times
-
A320. Nice and roomy.
-
Boeing 737s, I have to support American products.

Boeing - I have to support a easy aircraft to fly :lol:

I think its CRJs...
I dun like those underwing-pylons in Airbuses and Boeings......

I think you're referring to actuators which are responsible for pushing the flaps/elevators up & down. I don't like their looks either ... unfortunately, the bigger your aircraft gets, the more force is required to push the bigger flight controls.
Just my $0.02

Yup. ERJ-145LR and ER. I've already committed to ordering 30 of them for the next 3 years. Plus 10 A321-100 (or A320, still deciding). Thankfully I'm in Europe now so I don't need longrange planes.
So zkvac-what airline are you? Me and my alliancemates are starting up an alliance sometime soon. Would you be interested in joining?

VincentAir. Find me at the top of the rankings for Australasia ;)
Sorry, just joined Star Alliance :D

Australasia in W12:
I've got 11x Embraer EMB-120ER's and can get me a damn good distance over Australia, but
Bombardier CRJ-200LR's have fantastic range (Full east>west coast) and low fuel usage. Good price, too. (my 9th and 10th are on their way now... :)) EDIT: 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th as well! ;D
-
W12 - Phair I climbed about 100 places to number 23 (using only secondary airports)by having over 50 CRJ 100s (mostly LR, but that was overkill, most of my flights around 1000 miles) - afterward a319 (again 75% SR, 25% LR) to keep cost low over rivals. and now a321s, but basically I think the best value for money aircrat are the bombardier CRJ series or the Embraer!s that pop up later on. I will get CRJ 200LRs only to replace my current fleet due to age if I have time If you use secondary aiports the A321 is the largest you can go. My 777300ERs are a lazy choice, but 550 seats from 15mil-5mil airports are overkill. Also the Tu144D is a good way to have regional aircraft up to 4000 miles, not cost effective but mostly competition free as only long range a319 have the range, an I an fly to 3x more destinations. Basically when you a/c count goes beyond a hundred you will escape to the larger, but lower price/yield aircraft due to price competition and lack of time to create scores of new routes.

atr 72-200s (0-1600nm)
they can make about 80% of the profits per route of an airbus a319 at about a quarter the cost
then other aircraft i recommend
bombardier global express for intercontinental flights (4000-6900nm)
boeing 717 business empire for flights (1500-3500nm)
-
in W129 its the Beech King Air.Cheaper than the 1900,J31,and the EMB110,while having great range and 10-15 seats.Ive got a Super King Air B200 and it makes lots of euros flying from London to Moscom,Tunis,and Algiers.They're just superb.
