The 5-Aircraft Airline Challenge

The 5-Aircraft Airline Challenge

Hey everyone! :waving_hand:

We all have different favourite aircraft, airports and parts of the world we enjoy flying in, so I thought it would be fun to see what everyone’s perfect airline would look like if there were no real world restrictions.

There are loads of different combinations you could come up with, and I’m interested to see whether people go for huge international airlines, small regional carriers, low cost airlines or something completely different.

Sooo… if you could build your perfect airline from scratch, what would you create? :eyes::airplane:
You’ve been given the budget to create a brand-new airline but there’s one catch:


Your entire fleet can contain only FIVE aircraft types.

Build your airline:

:airplane: Airline Name:
:house: Main Hub:
:globe_showing_europe_africa: Secondary Hub(s):
:airplane_departure: Aircraft 1:
:airplane_departure: Aircraft 2:
:airplane_departure: Aircraft 3:
:airplane_departure: Aircraft 4:
:airplane_departure: Aircraft 5:
:artist_palette: Livery Colours:
:world_map: First Route:
:star: Flagship Route:
:seat: Business model: Low-cost / Full-service / Hybrid
:globe_showing_americas: Main region served:


Choose carefully those five aircraft need to operate your entire network. :eyes:

Interested to see what everyone comes up with!
