Airline Tycoon: First Class Hints

Boeing 707-320C

  • This plane, which seats 189 passengers and has room for 18 tonnes of  cargo, is average in size -- if not small compared to the modern planes. The consumption of fuel at over 15,000 litres per hour is very high and will likely cost your company quite a lot of money in the long run. Its range is also quite average. Its price of $14 million is cheap, and early on in the game when you do not have much money, it is probably one of the only planes you can buy. But due to its high rate of consumption, it will eat your funds up and is not recommended. If you do want to expand your fleet early in the game, I recommend the Boeing 720, with relatively similar stats but with a lower consumption rate and higher range. The price is the same and it is a better buy, but it still not recommended. A better buy would be the Iluyshin Sowjet Joining II 62, with better stats and lower price for people with a small company.

    Rating: Stay well clear of this plane.
