The fleet runs from worn-out classics to new jets. You begin on the worn-out side: one used aircraft. Condition falls on every leg at 60X, and the fleet menu is where maintenance is issued.
Named types
| Aircraft | Use it when | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Boeing 737-200 | First domestic hops between the starting hub and a cheap second airport | Used examples have been seen near 65 percent condition. Maintenance comes up often. |
| Embraer regional jet | Secondary point-to-point routes | Sources name the family only, not a specific Embraer type. Moderate capacity and lower fuel use are the described trade. |
| Airbus A330 | Mid-range international flying, including an Atlanta–Rome style leg | Higher purchase overhead. It wants steady ticket income. |
| Airbus A350 | Long-haul, including an Atlanta–London Heathrow style leg | Needs expensive hubs and a large cash outlay. High single-flight yield once the route is full. |
An editorial order for the opening weeks is on the aircraft tier list. It is not an official ranking.
What maintenance prevents
- Open the fleet menu and read condition before the next departure.
- Run the maintenance command while you still have cash. Repairs are a liquid-cash cost, and they arrive faster on old airframes because the clock is 60X.
- If you skip it, regulators ground the jet. A grounded aircraft earns nothing and still sits on the route assignment. Air News can put the failure on the server ticker.
- Flying on past that point is the documented path to an in-flight crash, lost revenue, and a shove toward bankruptcy.
Brand-new jets are described as the lower-grounding option, paid for with a purchase price a starting million cannot cover. Mixing a cheap classic on short spokes with a newer wide-body on the long leg is the expansion path in the fleet notes. There is no published repair price list, so budget from the balance you see after each landing rather than from a formula.
Clicking a flying aircraft shows condition in the same panel as passengers and tail number. A 6 percent tailwind in one readout is an example of the wind line, not a permanent bonus.
Pair this with pilots and strikes if the jet is airworthy but the departure still will not leave.
