Announcements - Beginner's World #1 / US Airways Launches US Airways...
Last post by raboair - Yesterday at 09:45:27 PMNewark, New Jersey — February 2020 — US Airways today announced two major strategic initiatives that will shape the airline's future: the launch of US Airways Cargo, a dedicated freight division, and a long-term fleet modernization program that will transition the airline to an all-Airbus fleet.
The launch of US Airways Cargo follows the acquisition of the route network and operating authorities formerly held by American Cargo Express, providing US Airways with an immediate entry into the air cargo market and establishing a foundation for future growth in domestic and international freight transportation.
The acquisition includes the carrier's route portfolio and operating rights but does not include any aircraft or other physical assets. At the time of its closure, American Cargo Express operated a fleet of 85 cargo aircraft, including Boeing 737, Boeing 757, Boeing 767, and Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 freighters.
US Airways Cargo will instead build its operation around the Airbus A330-200F, with the airline's first dedicated freighter joining the fleet as the foundation of a modern and efficient cargo network.
"Today marks a defining moment in the history of US Airways," said the Chief Executive Officer of US Airways. "The launch of US Airways Cargo expands our reach into a vital and growing sector of the aviation industry, while our transition toward an all-Airbus fleet positions the airline for greater efficiency, reliability, and long-term profitability."
Headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, US Airways currently operates a fleet of 147 aircraft serving destinations throughout North America and international markets. The airline enters this expansion from a position of financial strength, with more than $3.08 billion in total assets and no outstanding liabilities recorded on its balance sheet.
In conjunction with the cargo launch, US Airways announced plans to retire its aging Airbus A310 and Boeing 757 fleets over the coming years as part of a comprehensive fleet simplification strategy.
The retirement program will include:
6 Airbus A310-200 aircraft
28 Airbus A310-300 aircraft
3 Boeing 757-200 aircraft
3 Boeing 757-300 aircraft
Together, these 40 aircraft represent some of the oldest airframes in the US Airways fleet, with many having served the airline faithfully for more than two decades.
The transition will allow US Airways to streamline operations around a modern Airbus fleet consisting of:
Airbus A220-100
Airbus A319-100
Airbus A320-200
Airbus A321-200
Airbus A330 family
Airbus A340 family
Airbus A330-200F freighters
By standardizing around Airbus aircraft, US Airways expects to reduce maintenance and training costs, improve fleet flexibility, and enhance operational efficiency across both passenger and cargo operations.
US Airways Cargo will initially focus on integrating former American Cargo Express routes into its network while developing new freight services for express parcels, e-commerce shipments, industrial freight, mail contracts, and time-sensitive logistics customers. Additional Airbus A330-200F acquisitions will be evaluated as cargo operations expand.
"Our vision is clear," the CEO added. "We are building a stronger, more efficient US Airways—one that combines a modern all-Airbus fleet with a growing cargo business capable of connecting businesses and communities around the world."
The airline expects the first phase of cargo operations and fleet modernization to begin immediately, with further announcements regarding cargo destinations, fleet acquisitions, and retirement schedules to be released throughout 2020.

Game talk - Beginner's Worlds / routes not being flown?
Last post by Springbal - Yesterday at 03:22:21 PMit's a difficult start in BW2 for me this time. Despite enough pax demand, low income. But now I see, one of my AC two routes (well two destinations, so 14 weekly routes) have a load factor of 0% . In the schedule they are in blue, like active. When I click the route in the AC info page, I get the message "Error: Cannot find such route. (#4) Please try again." So i don't know what happens, but it costs me money since my plane doesn't fly . Someone got the same problem?

After a flurry of discord notifications from fellow alliance members woke up the alliance management, currently consisting of one member, NovemberCharlie would like to sincerely apologise to Tycoon for neglecting to respond to his alliance invitation requests.
Where the application procedure had been started in the background, NC failed to notice that a Elite - joint all world board - approval had been given. Combined with severe jetlag and over 200 still to be scheduled planes in two game worlds, this was completely of my radar.
Apologies again, please find an invite in your inbox (if you're still interested after this lacking treatment) and we are looking at upping the management roster in an attempt to minimise these errors again.
Kind regards on behalf of Elite

Announcements - History and the Future / Now Boarding: Your Chance to O...
Last post by KunstAviation - June 16, 2026, 12:08:46 PMLadies, gentlemen, and aviation dreamers—
Have you ever thought: "I'd like a classic jetliner... but with just enough upgrades to keep my pilot from aging faster than the aircraft?" Well, today is your lucky runway!
We are proud (and slightly amazed ourselves) to offer a limited batch of newly converted Boeing 707-320Bs—yes, converted, revitalized, and possibly given a second shot at midlife glory. These iconic jets have been lovingly upgraded to meet modern operational needs, while still maintaining that unmistakable vintage swagger.
✨ What You Get:
Classic 707 charm – because nothing says "style" like four engines and a silhouette that turns heads at every airport
Fresh conversions – updated systems, improved efficiency, and fewer opportunities for "character-building" in-flight surprises
Cargo or special mission ready – whether you're hauling goods or just flexing on ramp neighbors
Pilot nostalgia included free of charge
🚚 Availability
A select number of these beautifully "experienced but refreshed" aircraft are available right now, with more currently emerging from the conversion process (we suspect they're being gently encouraged with coffee and motivational speeches).
😂 Why Buy One?
Because flying a 707 makes you at least 37% cooler than everyone else on frequency
Because modern jets are great—but do they have soul?
Because your accountant said, "Please don't," and you said, "Watch me."
📈 Ideal For:
Cargo operators who appreciate history and payload
Aviation enthusiasts with excellent taste (and decent hangar space)
Anyone who thinks "four engines are better than two" is less of a statement and more of a lifestyle
Act fast—these legends won't sit still for long (mostly because they burn fuel at an enthusiastic rate).
Contact us today and secure your piece of jet-age greatness before the next wave rolls out!
✈️ Boeing 707-320B: Because some classics just refuse to retire quietly.

Game talk - The Age of Flight / Re: 9-11
Last post by Sami - June 14, 2026, 04:42:00 PMThe immediate full effects last for a rather limited period, and then there's the gradual "distrust" in air travel for a while that takes a bit longer to recover. Depending your routes and area, expect some 10-30% drop in sales for a while.
