Vanguard Airways (VGA)Leaders in Exceptional Flight Service
Moving forward from the one year anniversary of operations in Houston, Texas, Vanguard Airways continues its push to compete with airlines worldwide. In one year Vanguard has gone from the smallest to the fourth largest airline in the world, transporting over 25,000 passengers daily with a fleet of 28 aircraft, the second largest in the world. Predominantly serving North America, Vanguard has over 80 destinations including flights to the Bahamas, Canada, Cuba, and Mexico.
Vanguard surpassed the mark of being worth over 1 billion within its first year, and looks to continue with this performance in our second year. Other objectives for our second year include further developing our operations in Orlando, FL- with possible connections to the entire Carribean- and beginning the replacement process of our Boeing 727-200 Advanced models.

Predominantly Vanguard currently operates into well developed and more international in nature airports. Despite our plans to eventually replace the Boeing 727-200 Adv., there are no competing aircraft out there at the moment, thus these plans will likely be shelved for a while. One has been ordered to begin service out of our hub in Orlando, FL.
Vanguard has a strong business relation with Boeing, being the launch customer of the Boeing 737-200 Advanced HGW model. This aircraft consists the majority of Vanguard's fleet due to its versatility and performance, and will likely see service through Vanguard's years.
8 Fairchild Hiller FH-227Es have been put into service to fly into smaller airports, and at the current time there are no plans to procure additional aircraft.
5 Fokker F28 Fellowship 6000s have been put into service, with an order for an additional unit soon to be fulfilled- predominantly used for smaller airports that the 737-200 is less suited for. The short range of the aircraft however has led to internal studies for the replacement of the aircraft.
