Replacement for 707?
Icelandair0416:
I currently have several 707's in my fleet and am looking into the future in order to find a suitable replacement. I would just like to see what other players have replaced their 707's with in previous games or what they are planning to replace them with. Many thanks!

707s were used domestically and internationally. Some changed the international ones out with 757s and 767s. domesitcally, you have 737s
Talentz:
Hmm.. 757 has the economics. But doesn't have the 4000nm+ range. The 767 is a bit bigger, but costs more as well. Maybe the A313?
Guess it depends on what routes your using the 707s for.

Only get A313's if you have an all Airbus fleet, because they have bad fuel economy, and the lease costs are also higher then from a 767 or a 757!

It's a toughie and I am currently struggling with it. If you operate your 707s on high efficiency with short TATs, it can be hard to change.
I think the best approach is to stretch TATs where possible and go to 75/76 on some routes, and A310 on others until the 787 comes along which is the real only alternative that I see.
The A321 has too shorter range, the 757, 767 take too long to turn around, and there is little else on the market that is the same in terms of range/ seats/ TAT.
