Hello,
I am new here so I don't know if this has been talked about.
I know that the Airbus A318 "baby bus" is a double shrink I know that its overweight and it has few orders. How unprofitable is it. Would an operator of this aircraft make any money. In the very distant future like 15-20 years I hope to start an airline in the Caribbean based from Florida and a 100 seat aircraft with 3000 mile range looked good but would it make any money. I understand that it is a niche aircraft. Could an airline operate this as a sole type? I know that for the same operating costs I could pay up and get the A319 but this is hypothetical so I just want thoughts on the A318.
Also the Dornier CD2 Seastar I think that it looks like the perfect a/c for a small seaplane airline in either Alaska or the Caribbean. 12 pax seats, 1100 mile range. 6.2 million list price is high though. What do you think.
Thank You
