Has Anyone Ever Made Money With An AN24/26?

[TranceAvia]

As the topic says, they are dirt cheap lease costs but when I tried them I could not get them to make enough money to pay for themselves. I guess you would have to fly about 6 flights per day (well 12 legs) to make them work?

At least in a Jet Age scenario they should be able to make money. With higher fuel prices it could be tricky, however, I absolutley see no point why to choose this aircraft.

Less range, less (or equal) passengers, more fuel burn, more maintenance costs than a CRJ-100/200. Don't get them...

Oh, and more crew.

perhaps if soviet era planes were reduced to soviet airlines? just an idea as lets be fair, thats how so many of thee came into being...

I made money with the AN-10A at the start of DOTM2 if that counts for anything.

An140 is profitable, and to some extent the An 148, but An 24/26s have failed miserably each time I tried them.

I made money with the AN-10A at the start of DOTM2 if that counts for anything.

That's a totally different plane in a different era. That aircraft is a fine one.

The Xian MA60 is basically the An-26, but better, so you might as well want to get that one.
