cant find in manual - at what age are planes grounded due age

[Sami]

35 yo.

I wonder why? IRL there still flying much older planes.

[groundbum2]

I think 35 year number is fair, it makes airlines refresh their fleets and stops some egregious play where people might grab really old planes and distort game play, for example 500x DC3s at Heathrow in 1980 or some such nonsense.

My opinion is that this can prevent happening, no limits on age but just tuning running costs increase more in server as fleet get older and that way make player forced to renew fleet naturally.
