No. Only inexperienced airlines order 747s. If you look at their IDs, i'm sure you will find very few with a low ID number (aka, older ID, more experience with AM).

I did ;) I've never tried anything larger than a DC-10-30, and it didn't make money. That said, i was operating it from Turkmenistan... :lol:

If you operate routes like YYZ-LHR/CDG/etc. with the 747 and use up all its hours, the money it earns should end up at around maybe $600,000, perhaps less. But then again, I've never had anything larger than an A300 before, so I might be way off... :D

Edit: Also, maintenance costs will go for around $500,000+ within a few months and millions later on, so I highly recommend you to either sell, lease or scrap the aircraft right away. (Since no one will dare to buy/lease your 747's, I guess scrapping would be the best idea).

The most profitable L/H A/C I ever operated was a Tristar 500 out of HND.

If you are not a well established airline in a long running World, where your S/H network brings in the majority of your DOC, forget operating 747s, longer range 777s.

If you really want to expand your L/H market, buy 767s with extended range.

You will burn money but add those great destinations to your network.
