The Singapore Airlines fleet features exclusively wide-body aircraft from three aircraft.
There are only few airlines has wide body only fleet, such as Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific.
indigo airlines uses only airbus a320 .
Most airlines don't buy their own aircraft outright. Most aircraft in North America are leased from brokerage firms and such. Therefore an airline under chapter 11 can gain more aircraft into their fleet , only if they find a brokerage firm that's willing to risk it and lease them one !
With most airlines theres only one way and that's to ask the travel operater about the aircraft. Mattyashy
British Airways owns Open Skies Airlines. Open Skies Airlines was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Rungis, France. It is a small airline with a fleet of only three planes.
Not on every aircraft. Right now only the widebody aircraft (some wide body aircraft don't they are being installed though) and select 757 and 737 have them. They are infact installing it on all of their 757-200/300 fleet, 737-800 fleet, 747-400, md-90.
Newer airlines, mostly low-cost airliners extend their scheduled services by adding more flights to a certain destinations and/or adding more aircraft in their fleet. All flight attendant have only a required working hour based on FAA regulations (I just forgot how much hour it was) thus plenty of fleet/services yet lacking or man power so they recruit more and more. Legacy airlines also play a major role, as they are extending their destinations competing with other airlines; acquiring bigger planes, frequency of flying over a certain destination same thing happens over the low-cost airlines. A best example of these growing legacy airlines is the Arabian airlines: Emirates, Qatar, and Etihad as they are opening new destinations every month/year adding more and more flights and more aircraft.
basically, aircrafts are manufactured only when airlines place an order due to exorbitant cost. but at times ,they are manufactured in order to have uniform production. when an aircraft is made with any oder by any airlines or due late cancellation of oder are called white tails.
No. The cockpit refers to the now secured area where the controls for flying the aircraft are located. Access is only for pilots, navigator, and authorized employees. It is in the very front of the plane and has a windshield, like a car. The cabin is the part of the plane where the passengers are seated. (This applies only to passenger aircraft that airlines use)
It would depend entirely on the Airline you are using. However, nearly all of them will use one of five types, so I will list them for you: Airbus A330 Airbus A340 Boeing 747 Boeing 767 Boeing 777 These are all widebody aircraft; there IS a British Airways service that uses a small aircraft (Airbus A318) from London City, for business class only with about 35 seats. Charter airlines might use older aircraft, but apart from the chance of an Airbus A300 or Boeing 757 substituting for a broken-down plane, they will also be from the five main types above.
A variety of planes can fly to Metro. The McNamara terminal can handle planes from the CRJ series to the Boeing 747, but are not eqquiped for the A380. Northwest/ Delta is the only airline out of that terminal (and partners), and they do not have any A380's in their fleet as of yet. The new North Terminal, I believe can only go up to the 777 or 767, and the A330. But when the two additional gates are constructed, they should be able to accomidate the 747 on such airlines as Lufthansa, and possibly even the A380 if any airline to that terminal ever chooses to use an A380 in their fleet.
There are simply too many airlines to name. However airlines can be divided into groups:Legacy Airlines - Airlines that have operated for years and have a very large route network and consumer base. Examples include:NorthwestAmericanContinentalUnitedDeltaLow Cost Carriers - These airlines have smaller operations and generally minimize costs to increase efficiency and profit. Some LCCs are:SouthwestJetBlueFrontierSpiritRegional Carriers - These airlines often operate under the names of larger airlines. They serve smaller destinations. Examples:PinnacleMesabaAir WisconsinCharter Airlines - These airlines fly charters or reserved flights such as organizations or sports teams. Some charter airlines:Champion AirMany other airlines also operate charters as part of their servicesANSWER 2 Air Taxis - very small airlines and often small aircraft, often only a single aircraft, usually without regular scheduled routes, can operate out of most any airport and go wherever and whenever the passenger needs to go - sometimes also offering tours and suchI actually believe Southwest Airlines should be considered a Legacy Airlines. They lead the world in number of passengers carried!
