I use mainly Airbus A318, ATR42-600, and Cessna Caravan. They have low fuel consumption. I also use a few BombardierCRJ700 and Embraer EMB170-200.

I don't go above Airbus A318 as I don't want to exceed 3 fuel per passenger for roleplay reasons. In some time I might reach the limit of what Airbus A318 can handle, in which case I will probably upgrade my bases for more slots.

What is your plane for 500km and 500 pax route?

Lots of ATR42-600, but it costs a lot of slots.

Curious to know what you would use for a 250km-route with 5k demand. I run such a route, and this is quite tricky.

Actually A318 still works fine sometimes. Paris to Brussels is about 280km and since both countries are quite rich you can generate quite some profit using that plane. But between big cities in India for example this does not work, you have to use smaller planes.

Thanks for your reply. I will try upgrade my ERJ140 to A318.
