So all of you guys' tips have surely helped me out.

I am now operating out of Zurich, my aircraft make 25k-65k daily profit.

I'm using 2x MD-82 and 4x ATP. 1 ATR42 is on order.

I got little to no competition on all routes. :)

Load factors are 80%+ every flight, except for one route which I just started, the image is building up.

Thanks alot. :)

Be careful with 3 fleet types too early on

I thought it wouldn't be THAT much of a problem since the ATR and the ATP use the same engines.

I just wanted something smaller to operate my new Zurich-Geneva flight. :)

Thanks for the advice.

The fuel is the same worldwide.

And I've never actually flown the IL62 on longhaul, but I hear that it is quite a money-loser.  That could just be fluff, though.

I'm actually running 3 of them with a profit now. ;) ~45k per flight at 75% LF
