Title: Tip: Buy Airbus Instead of Boeing
Post by: Unbornio on January 11, 2009, 01:22:27 PM
Buy Airbus planes instead of Boeing ones. If you compare similar variants, you'll see Airbus ends up have the least turnaround time.  ;D

Boeing is cheaper, though. (IF we're comparing 737 and A320 series here, which I assume at this stage we are.)

As an experienced player, I have found that Boeing has profoundly better profitability then all Airbus, in their classes

737-A320s - The A320'ss are great, but everyime I order, them, I make more money with the Boeing....

Same goes for A330-A340 - 777/767 - The 767 makes way to much money in this game, but thats cool ;D and the A330 is great.... but the 777's still beat it (trust me, I had a fleet of 100 A330s and replaced them with 100 777-200LRs, very wise choice  8))

747 - These planes make a ton of money for me - its how you use them that make them money losers or pots of gold

757- this special plane has a place in my heart, but unfortunatly it kinda sits as an odd duck. It profitable, but its just in an akward position since it only has 200 Y seats or so.

Nothing can compete with the 727 and the Boeing 707 is really the only longhual plane for several years and then is outdated.

Yes.

Once the B737-700/-800 comes out, I'm ordering them and putting on my routes to the West Coast.

Maybe use 757s also. Have to wait a little while tho.

Why?

Better range, fuel economy.

Aloha used them until they went under. I heard they were a great money maker for them.

Overall, Boeing fits my routes.

Airbus airplanes are too expensive and more costly to operate (esp A340s).

I love my A321s, however they are really expensive, compared to the 737s.
I still think MD-83s are one of the best. ;D

They didnt go bankrupt because of the plane, they went under due incredibly heavy competion on like 80% of their routes and 145$ fuel  :)
