Just a question, what are the most profitable aircraft in AM for a game in the 90's-2000's?

Supposingly the A319 is terrible, and the ATR great? That's about all I know, so any other help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks  ;)

I would say 737s or A320s,
but that folds waaay over the ATR cost

If you mean a profit/cost ratio, then one of the 70-pax turbo props are probably at the top of the list. The most profitable jet is probably the F70.

No F70 most profitable jet is Tu-334-100 with 102 pax capacity and low fuel usage.  ;)

Who cares about fuel usage? It doesn't matter. What about capital cost?

i agree with pseudoswede i think the F70 has to be the best i find it the most economical by far, if not the F70 i think the Saab340 would be next

The F70 is excellent.  Even the expensive longer ranged one.  And they're availible from 1994

I suppose A321's are okay too in terms of price and seats. they're cheap and have 220 seats. although its fuel usage is not that good.

Fuel?
Who cares about fuel?

I think the best ~70 turbo props for Short haul is the BAe Jetstream J-61.

fokker 70s are a lot more cost effective than ATRs. they are way faster so you can get more routes in with each plane.

In my airlines, it is B737-300, which gives me nearly 600000 per day.
