Lets have a bit of fun.. test "the old grey matter" and see who can recognise / remember these airlines. Of course you can cheat and go look them up (if you have an inkling what to look for) :laugh: ... but challenge yourself to get this right without looking on the internet for the answers. Results on 24 Nov 2022.
CORRECT ANSWER - No.4:
Alliance Air (a JV between Tanzania, Uganda and South Africa using a 747SP leased from SAA)
Merpati Nusantara (from Indonesia using ATR.72s)
Ecuatoriana (from Ecuador - stunning livery for a 707!)
Do you know an approximate % of how much you are penalized for having more the 3 fleet groups?

Depending on the size of your airline, it can be enough to bring a tear to your eye.
penalty feels about 1% margin per 100 planes. Could be a bit higher though, need more testing

there's honestly no penalty upto about 450 aircraft. But once you get to 450 it will kill 90$ or airlines. Until 450 the commonality is proportionate to the fleet size, after 450 punative penalties kick in. I had 2000 aircraft, 3 fleets commonality 600m/mo. I added a single plane of a new fleet type, monthly commonality jumped to 4bn!! At that point you gotta onder if a 4th fleet is really adding value...
