replacing vs adding
coopdogyo:
So this is my first game and now that my fleet is starting to get older and doesn't have the greatest comminality I was thinking I should revamp it. I was wondering what is the best way to do this to just add the MD-83's I am ordering to my fleet or phase out my MD9's, B732's, and my B722's? If I should phase them out what would be the best way to do it buy the planes so I can run them on the same routes till the new planes come in then put them up for lease. Or should I just let the lease expire and let there be a small gap?
JonesyUK:
I'd order the new planes and swap them over as they arrive. If you can replace all planes with one fleet type, all the better.
DenisG:
Yes, but don't forget: Lufthansa's current (2009) fleet age is around 12,5 years.

Yeah me fleet is a bit young but the MD-83 allows me to have the range I had before but also gives me 30 more passengers.

Lufthansa has the money to cope with that... they have the biggest fleet in Europe...
At Jet Age... I'm currently replacing all my old (+-10 yo) leased 737-200 with brand new 737-300... and some 757's for the bigger demands... But I'm only a domestic airline in India making huge profits... I think it's always a good idea to have a fleet consisting of similar planes...
