Starting an Airline

Will there be airplane purchases involved?

at least they give a handy price list.

These planes aren't cheap. More than a AWS, digital ocean and a linnode combined!

Man, if Boeing can price out starting an airline, there's no excuse for making somebody call for price on a SaaS product.

Please note that the pricelist omits a "most popular choice" column/highlight ;-)

The link shows purchase price, I like it.

What is fails to show is fuel usage, operating costs, maintenance and all the other things that will bankrupt you if you aren't careful.

They don't sell the 757 any more?

Nope. The 757 is really inefficient (RB211 engines are serious overkill). It's unfortunate, because as an aviation enthusiast, I love nothing more than rocketing off the runway on a 757.
