CHR News Update
May 6, 1973
CHR Airlines is proud to announce their fleet changes to date. CHR is operating a fleet comprised mainly of jet liner aircraft. A small number of older Ilyuskin Il-18 aircraft, with performance nearly on-par with the most modern jet aircraft, are already partially phased out. With the retirement of these aircraft, CHR will operate a jet only fleet.
The main body of the CHR fleet has become the SE 210 Caravelle Super 10B (90 aircraft), however the Dassault Mercure (10 aircraft to date) has been selected as the replacement for the main fleet aircraft. The HS121 Trident (2E and 3B models, 16 aircraft) are being used on routes to moderately large cities. CHR Airlines has also ordered the Airbus A300 (10 aircraft to date) to service high capacity short and medium haul routes. These French and British aircraft reflect CHR's desire to support local European industry, part of being a responsible corporate citizen.
The Boeing company has been selected to provide the majority of the large aircraft for the CHR fleet. The Boeing 707 represented CHR's first major leap into the jet era, opening new destinations to the travelling public. These revolutionary aircraft continue to be purchased with the latest avionics to make up the majority of CHR's long haul fleet (with 43 707s of various types). The Boeing 747 has recently been ordered (7 aircraft to date), with first deliveries in approximately 3 months. These aircraft will be put on the highest capacity routes to major destinations. The Boeing 727 is used on high capacity short and medium haul routes. This aircraft brings a greater number of passengers at higher speeds to their destinations across Europe. CHR also operates the Douglas DC-8-60 on high capacity routes (11 aircraft).
CHR Airlines again shows its commitment to utilising the latest technology to bring a better service to customers. The 747 will be the largest commercial airliner in the world when the first aircraft are completed, over two and a half times larger than the 707. This means lower fares and more space, including the luxurious upper deck CHR Lounge for our passengers. The 747, despite its size, is nevertheless one of the fastest aircraft available, and will get passengers to their destinations in record times.
The Airbus A300 also brings advanced technologies when it arrives. It is the first wide bodied aircraft to have only two engines, decreasing costs, and so bringing down fares for customers. It also has advanced electronics and systems, ensuring safer flights.
