Another comparison between aeroplanes.

I am based in Hong Kong and I want to make some routes from HK to some airport cost 250,000 in Asia with less than 3000nm

1. Will it overkill the route if I use A321?
2. If yes, what should I choose from MD90/A320/B737-800? Which one is more profitable and lower maintance cost? I see MD 90 is chaeper and have more seat than 319, but no one in the game choos them, or a few. So which should I choose?

Thank you for answering.

In my opinion, use the A320. Cheaper than the 737, very profitable and similar stats. I just tried using A321's in my expansion to Australia, and from what I found they are no better than the A320, They make the same, if not less profit, and lower your loadfactor because they have 40 more seats, yet there's not enough passengers to fill those seats. They seem too large for the "very good" routes, and too small for the "excellent" routes. However I have yet to try the A321 in high-density areas such as Asia, North America or Europe, so I can't say completely if the A321 is worth it or not. Not to mention it's more expensive than the A320.

MD90 is cheaper but much slower for this routes.

B737s too much expensive and slower

In public world A321 for this routes due competition.

In private world long range A319 will be enough.
