You can add Skylark Air to that list of airlines :P

(Ive become addicted already)

Running two CRJ700ERs doing Dub-Paris and Dub - Stokholm

4 ATR-42s serving Rekyavik, Rome, London and Berlin.

(It took me a hard time to decide to sell the 738... For a new airline, its one jet, and too pricy to run and operate.... more smaller aircraft, higher passenger throughput in the same timeframe, faster turn arounds, and more trips... atleast thats my principal, based on the ryan scare school of airline operation....

catch em on a wire, spin em around and cat shot them back into the skies... time on the ground costs money.

50$ fuel? God damn it >>

Im still following the AM fast track guide and Im 8 DC10,s short of 100 aircraft. In my fleet I have

50 DM
42 DC10

When I reach the 100 mark I am going to go my own way. Im looking at the 767-200ER. I am hoping to have the remaining few DC10,s in service over the next few hours.

Northern Star Airlines.

Edit: Northern Star Airlines have signed a deal with boeing for 10 B767-200 ER aircraft. 'These aircraft will open up new routes out of our London hub to the Middle east and Asia', CEO Joe Griffin said. The first aircraft is expected to enter traffic late Sunday night/early Monday morning.

Currently the fleet is like this:

A380-800 -x33

Il-86- x50
B747-400ER -x1
DC-10-10 -x50

Ways and means........
Errr- if you look earlier in this thread- there was a link to a handy little script you could use to automatically send your planes out as soon as they came into land- it ran via greasemonkey. I'm sure its been disabled a long time ago- but over time (it took me 7 months) I got my fleet up to 400 aircraft- and I've almost managed to change it entirely to Airbus aircraft- I've a few Boeing 737s that I haven't replaced yet........

Having a quick turn-around on your planes is critical to generating the income you need to get into fuel efficient longhaul- and once you start on longhaul- its a self replicating thing.........

You can buy your way into the game- but its far more fun to persevere and build up your fleet over time.........

Trying to tell your customers something ? :P

Smccarrick - I agree on the more fun to do it yourself thing...

my first decision was to bin the stock 738 in favour of a fleet of smaller regionals i could run on more routes, at once, putting more bums on seats... 4 flights with 50 bums on seats, is more than 1 738 at the end of the day... and far more likely than a full house in the big bird.

Slowly paying off... converting upto DC9-40s at the moment, with a mind to step next, to midrange haul types... its an inverse piramid of profit... get more, earn more, but theres less to get, to earn at the start... Im sure it gets easier as it goes, but at the moment, its those struggling early days all companies hate... Hell I even made my pilots bring thermos flasks to save on in flight coffee costs... buggers were drinking me dry.

Darius.Tr

I was thinking of buying another 100 of IL96-400's, this would make 200 of them. What you think, is it worth it?

I think I might have had something to your stock selling out, bought 199999 shares lol, maybe someone could invest in me pwwwease

Jaysus lads, perhaps I should have mentioned that Bockscar Airlines is trading on the public market. I've been doing fairly well recently. With regards to the Airline Progress chart, from 1 to 11 (whatever that means, hours maybe?) I've gone from $0.20 to $0.30.

Whoever is behind Northern Star Airlines, fair play to you lad, because you are certainly paying me dividends.

Bockscar Airlines current fleet;

4 * ATR 72-210
3 * Dassault Mercure
3 * MD80
3 * ATR 42-600
3 * ATR 42-500
1 * AN10
1 * DC-9-40
1 * CRJ701
1 * BAe ATP (longest serving a/c: 113 hours)

We're still working on the Tinian-Nagasaki route, but rest assured it will come to fruition.

davetherave

I gave up on having Dublin as my hub long ago.

Now it's just whatever is the longest most demanded route.

The_Conductor

What are the benefits of using a hub anyway?
I'm still using Dublin as my hub- without issue.

On a separate note- when is the next reasonable fuel price due? I missed the $50/lb (no, it wasn't Coldplay, it was a 3 week old baby who needed attention )

I think its just a hub achievment and that the map of flights looks good I dont use a hub myself, im trying to get the most of my A/C's .

EDIT: As for the fuel price it goes to $400 everyday and it will be at $50 again on 25th of July.

Firekitten

I think the hub benefit means your maintainance times fall, because the aircraft are landing at the same airport as the maintainance hangers?
Not tested that one out though.


Edit: guys, 400$ fuel.

Macrubicon Air

221 -A380
120 - B777-300LR
and a bunch of everything else including the BBJ's
360 - Total aircraft.

Have worked through the concorde, 200xIL, 200x Boeing etc. for achievements and am moving to a fleet where it's a twice a day dispatch.

Has anyone tried the cargo option ? Waiting on the PAX points to accumulate again to see about buying in.

Captain Commie

I have been pondering a change to operational tactics, and as all the next flights land they will be cancelled, the MD's will be retired and Donegal Air will be moving to a hub structure, most likely out of New York or somewhere similar. Also converting 1 A340-200 for cargo operations to see how we go with that on. Adjustments will be completed over the next 24 hours.

Captain Commie

I'm not an 'If it ain't Boeing it ain't going person', but Boeing a/c are far cheaper in this game.

Quite agree, ive added 4x 732Adv to my fleet... Nice little mid range/mid capacity workhorse, and cheap at 1.9m to get off the ground.

Puts me upto:
4x 732 Adv
6x ATR42-500
2x CRJ700
2xMD80
2xDC9-40

Making nice steady proffit,

Hoping to slowly phase out the DC9s and ATR42s in favour of 732s.

The MD80s are making me more dosh on average though than any other bird. Like them.
