I would guess for around 225-250 million €.

I heard someone mention ~198 million for the A340-300 and ~235 million for the A330-300.

Don't ask me why the A330 costs more-it's got less range and the same seating capacity (the A340 is just a 4 engined A330-fuselage wise)-the A340 should cost more.

[lhenning]

That sounds really strange. It might be contrary, the A343 235 million and the A333 198 million!

[herrgoda]

It's the same in real life though. The A333 is a bit more expensive than the A343, if you refer to list prices. Although it's only 15m or so

I'd have an A330-200 out of the lot of them, wonder how much they will be?

Anyway speaking of which I find that any airplane that has more than 400 seats has pathetic performance, especially on longhaul (I'm looking at you, 747). Though I blame that on the pricing system....which can't tell between LAX-SYD and JFK-ATL. AM price for LAX-SYD: 350 euros. Real world price: $1500+.

If I'm not mistaken the A330-200 doesn't come out until 1996.

Note to self: NEVER, EVER lease or buy 747's. Concorde costs as much and they bring in 150k-180k per route. Take out fuel expenses of about 30k on an average 4000mile route, and I can often cram 7-8 of these into a concorde's schedule with hours to spare (then I profit about 700-800k per concorde). And then there's the cool factor.

Yeah I'm startign buying Concorde's now. Got two 744's on order though for their awesome range.

Do it, but don't do it for the profit

yourefired: hmmm if you want range i would go for the A340-500, the worlds longest range aircraft. but i don't think they'll bring that into the game.....

zkvac: oh and you're comment about the price of a normal world ticket thing being $1,500+ i completely agree. some prices in here are way lower than what the real prices are. (Im in australia) From SYD-LAX it costs around about $2,500 real life. And the concorde was one expensive ticket. My friend whos like 60 or 70 went on a Paris to New York JFK flight and it cost him around $7,000 euro WOAH! so Real world $7,000 x 121pax = around $840,000 for ONE flight! and those flights went at quite a reasonable frequency.

You got a it mixed up there, I commented about 747s for Long range, and yourefired was talking about ticket prices.

I'd get A340-500's if I could. Know of anyone who sold them in 1992?

Anyone who did would likely face a charge for fraud, as the 345 first flew in 2002
