HI,

My details -
In world 1973
DOC - 653456
Fleet - 3 x dc3 active, + 1 on order
aims - worlds biggest airline
Base  - Manchester UK

I am trying to figure out which plane is the best option, I hvae joined worlds later and found a certain jet a great money earner but never been this "early" in a world.

I am planning flights from Manchester in the UK to europe - france, spain and italy at first, taking the range and a min of 50 seats into account I have the following choices:

Junkers Ju290 50 237 3841 0.27 BMW 801G/H 310 €16,465,880 Buy
Douglas DC-6 56 270 4580 0.29 PW Double Wasp R2800CA15 366 €21,382,543 Buy
Douglas DC-4-1009 86 197 4246 0.38 PW R-2000 347 €22,592,508 Buy
Tupolev Tu-70 72 307 3105 0.34 Shvetsov ASh-73TK 478 €26,962,836 Buy

My thoughts are with the Junkers and keep them for upto 3-4 years, let them pay for themselves then the smae again then flog them, by which time I may be able to pick up some better A/C.

cheers

dave

With your DOC, you are waiting more than a full day to buy just one plane. You should be looking at much cheaper planes (1.2M-2.4M price). Once you get those, fly them to every airport within the UK, northern France and Netherlands.

More planes = more routes = more DOC = more planes

And if you want to aim to become the largest airline, then you need to be basing at LHR, CDG, FRA, MAD, and AMS.
