Hi all

Something interesting just made me wonder

Kuwait airways operates a daily flight KWI BOM KWI as KU 301/302

These are operated by A320/ A310/A300/A340/b777 on different days of the week

That Infact is the entire fleet of the airline with regards to aircraft types
Is this unique

Are there any other routes where the whole fleet is operated?

Cheers

Quoting gauravpai (Thread starter): Are there any other routes where the whole fleet is operated?

I know this is not what you are exactly looking for, but technically ...

FR operates its 'entire fleet' to every airport they fly, i.e., B737-800 ...
Same for W6 and A320 ...

It may be the case with some other LCC's ...

CX flies anything and everything into TPE. Over the years, I've flown the A333, A343, A346, 744, 772, 773, and 77W between TPE and HKG.

Additionally, CX's subsidiary Dragon Air (KA) flies its A320 and A333 between TPE and HKG as well.

I'm pretty sure both CI and BR also fly at least all their wide-body types between those two airports (CI may use the 738 as well, I don't know, but I rather doubt it).

Quoting ordwaw (Reply 1):

yeah my fault i should have stated fleets where more than one aircraft type are operated  

Quoting BreninTW (Reply 2):

yeah thats more like what i was looking for ,so thats the entire CX fleet right? awesome

cheers

Might i also add that TG flies everything at their disposal BKK HKG BKK especially TG600/601 which is currently an A380

I have travelled on A300/A330-300 /772/773/77W/A345/A346/A380/747-400

Only exception is the 737-400 but with them being phased put i guess thats pretty much the whole fleet.

However the topic is wether any airline uses their entire fleet to one destination under a single flight number like KU does ?

cheers

Quoting gauravpai (Reply 4): However the topic is wether any airline uses their entire fleet to one destination under a single flight number like KU does ?

Yes CX does that all the time and it is restricted to regional flights only to selected ports only! For instance, CX739 (HKG-SIN) will turn around as CX734 (SIN-HKG) and it has used every single aircraft type in CX's fleet (A330, A343, A346, 744, 772, 773, 77W) and the aircraft type keeps changing every single day!

CI has 737-800s on the route sometimes. BR's entire fleet comes to HKG including their MD90s and A321.

Its worth noting that many Asian destinations receive the entire CX passenger fleet. Places like BKK, CEB, NRT, SIN etc...most of the larger destinations in the network.

Quoting gauravpai (Reply 4): I have travelled on A300/A330-300 /772/773/77W/A345/A346/A380/747-400

TG does not regularly swap aircraft types on a certain flight though. The A300 has not been here for a long time for example and as far as I know, no TG 777-300ER has ever visited HKG although I stand to be corrected.


SQ fly all their aircraft types to HKG too.

Southwest operates all of its fleet types into every airport they fly too        

Additionally, TPE sees the entire gamut of the CX freighter fleet -- I've personally seen the 742F, 744F, 744BCF and 748F at TPE.

Quoting BreninTW (Reply 8): Additionally, TPE sees the entire gamut of the CX freighter fleet -- I've personally seen the 742F, 744F, 744BCF and 748F at TPE.

Yes and both the 742SF and 744ERF have been to TPE too!  

PR sends its entire fleet to CEB and DVO: they are served by planes as small as the A319, and by planes as large as the 77W. They also get 2P's Dash 8s.  

Quoting CX Flyboy (Reply 6): TG 777-300ER has ever visited HKG although I stand to be corrected

We were originally booked on TG600 and the 747-400 had some problems with the engines and was swapped for a brand new 777-300er that day so was lucky to get on that
when we entered it was like we were travelling in Jet Airways as the interiors looked familiar
it was later that i understood that TG had taken over some aircraft from 9W and hence the similarity.
so yes i have travelled into HKG on a 77W

cheers

TG flies all of their widebody fleet to SIN.

Airbus A300-600
Airbus A330-300
Airbus A340-500 (used to)
Airbus A340-600
Airbus A380-800 (albeit only for a few months)
Boeing 747-400

Quoting Akiestar (Reply 10): PR sends its entire fleet to CEB and DVO: they are served by planes as small as the A319, and by planes as large as the 77W. They also get 2P's Dash 8s.

I also forgot: PR has also sent its entire fleet to HKG! 

Sort of turnign the question on its head isn't EK's entire fleet based out of one airport (DXB) and in a few years BA will be the same with LHR 

Icelandair operates 753s to BOS, JFK and occasionally YYZ in N-America and in Europe it operates on a regular basis to LHR and CPH, sometimes to FRA, AMS and ARN, occasionally OSL and very rarely CDG and MAN. Obviously all those airports get 752s also, so those would qualify.  

Regards,
Sveinn

Its pretty common for an airlines home base, NZ takes it whole fleet into AKL.
- 777-300ER
- 777-200ER
- 767-300ER

Quoting Initious (Reply 12): TG flies all of their widebody fleet to SIN.

The TG 737-400 is NOT flying into Changi and not into HKG. Let s be more correct in answering the question. The threadstarter was aksing about the entire fleet, not only the widebody fleet.

AA flies their entire mainline fleet into their DFW hub:

-MD-80
-737-800
-757
-767-300ER
-777-200ER
-777-300ER (very soon)

Not sure if this will change next year with the addition of the A319 and A321.

American Eagle also flies all or almost all their fleet types into DFW (including the CRJ-700, which there is no DFW pilot base for - not sure if there are ER3s at DFW).

Quoting FWAERJ (Reply 18): AA flies their entire mainline fleet into their DFW hub: -MD-80 -737-800 -757 -767-300ER -777-200ER -777-300ER (very soon)

AA also owns the 767-200, which it does NOT fly into DFW. However, LAX does see their whole fleet, including eagle and skywest's CR2, which flies ONLY out of LAX.

[Edited 2012-12-21 11:28:11]

CLT-PHL currently sees all of US's mainline fleet with the exception of the A333:

-B734
-B752
-B767
-A319
-A320
-A321
-A332
-E90


CLT sees all US mainline fleet, as does PHL.

MCO sees A319, A320, A321, A332, B734, B757, B767. They see all mainline aircraft except the A333 and E90. I believe MCO is the spoke location in the US that sees a A330 on a regular basis.

Quoting PiedmontINT (Reply 7):

Not entirely true, I can name lots of airports that don't see 737-800.

I think you will probably see Lufthansa operating the entire widebody fleet to New York as more B747-830 will join the fleet.
Maybe even all to JFK over the course of a whole year ?

Qatar airways operates all types to Dubai and Bahrain.

Quoting PiedmontINT (Reply 7): Southwest operates all of its fleet types into every airport they fly too.

That depends if we're defining "fleet" by family or by model.

As Southwest operates an all-737 fleet, they would meet the criteria on that basis.

But if we define it by model, then an airport would have to see service with the 737-300, the 737-500, the 737-700 and the 737-800.

Try Aer Arann Islands http://www.aerarannislands.ie/index.php/flight-times

All BN-2 Islanders that start and / or terminate at one airport  

There can't be *that* many airlines with a major home base that doesn't see all of its fleet surely?

I'm not sure if Aer Lingus's 319's currently serve Dublin, however. The A320/321/332/333 and the franchised ATR42/72 all do.

MEA operate all types - A330s, A321s & A320s to the following destinations

Larnaca
Amman
Istanbul
Cairo
Dubai
Damman
Riyadh
London (rare but all types have operated there on and off)

Quoting TWA902fly (Reply 19): AA also owns the 767-200, which it does NOT fly into DFW. However, LAX does see their whole fleet

The 77W is part of the AA fleet now, which LAX has yet to see.

DL flies almost all of their (very diverse) fleet except for the 753 into ATL.

AC through YYZ
UA through SFO
HA through HNL

[Edited 2012-12-21 15:39:00]

I Swear I worked on a 757-300 in ATL a few weeks ago. It flew in from MSP. I think DAL does operate the whole fleet thru ATL. HTH

At LHR we can more or less the entire fleet of both:

ME
RJ (bar express ops)
and lately TK - seem to send just about everything over the last month

Staying with KU, they used to pretty much send everything too, bar the A320.

Quoting FWAERJ (Reply 29): DL flies almost all of their (very diverse) fleet except for the 753 into ATL.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL2334
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL434 Seems to split between 753 and 752.

Ah, I stand corrected. This means that DL operates all of their plane types into ATL, both mainline and Connection.

DL Connection:
CRJ-200
CRJ-700
CRJ-900
EMB-170
EMB-175

DL mainline:
DC-9-50
MD-88
MD-90
A319
A320
737-700
737-800
757-200
757-300
767-300
767-300ER
767-400ER
A330-200
A330-300
777-200ER
777-200LR
747-400

23 fleet types in all (24 when the DC-9s are replaced by the 717s and the 739ERs start arriving). Guess they weren't kidding when they say that ATL is the center of the aviation universe.

Quoting FWAERJ (Reply 34):

Where do DL's 772ERs go out of ATL? I know they do go into ATL, I'm just asking out of PURE curiosity, as I never paid much attention to that.

Quoting CX Flyboy (Reply 6): SQ fly all their aircraft types to HKG too.

Not exactly...unless the A345 has been flown there before?

In fact the limited ports which the A345 has called at (LAX, EWR, CGK) renders all destinations invalid for SQ in this discussion. LAX comes closest...772ER, 773ER, 744, A380, A345...but I doubt they have ever sent their 772, 773 or A330s there.

CGK might be a possibility, but no A380s and I doubt any of the ERs went there?

Quoting FWAERJ (Reply 29): DL flies almost all of their (very diverse) fleet except for the 753 into ATL.

They do operate at least one 753 daily from ATL to Detroit

Frontier Airlines operates all 3 of their Airbus variants (A318,319,320) into/ out of DEN. In the past they've done DFW, among others. Insofar as the E190s if adding the RPA birds, then DEN and DFW again.

Sort of on topic but does anyone recall if British Airways ever operated the DC-10 into LHR on a scheduled basis or was it always strictly a Gatwick bird post BCal merger?

DTW see's all the fleet types.

Both TACA and COPA operate all their 319/320/321/E90 and 73G/738/E90 fleet into several North, Central and South American destinations, depending the day of the week and season, following aircraft rotation.
TA stations such as IAH, DFW, MIA, GUA, SAP, TGU, MGA CCS and ASU see different type of aircraft. The 321 is rare as it just operate out of SJO, SAL and LIM to LAX, JFK, IAD, EZE and SCL and depending the day of the week on the SAL-MGA-MIA route! They also fly the 321 from Hub to Hub like SAL-LIM from time to time.
CM see different 73G/738/E90 in GUA, SAP, TGU, MGA and SJO on a daily basis and the equipment change from flight to flight depending on the day of the week!

Wow thats awesome that there are so many answers out there!

however i should have mentioned its not about airlines and their hubs/home bases

And also in case of lccs its obvious they would fly their whole fleet to a certain airpost as most of them bar some have only one aircraft type

also in case of hubs its like saying AI operates its whole fleet ex DEL but thats not the thread its for eg does AI operate its fleet from said hub /base to any airport with its entire fleet serving that destination?

thanks again for all the answers awesome!!

cheers

We can see the whole fleet of TK at the bigger European destinations (LHR, AMS, CDG, DUS, etc)

Thai too flies their entire fleet to BOM at times.
Ive seen TG 744,A333,773,77W, even A340-600!
So all their wide bodies which are operational now have visited BOM  

SU from SVO to LHR, CDG, FCO, BCN or MUC operates A319/320/321/767/332/333 and even il96

The same with UN, everything from DME to BCN or LHR: 735/734/73G/738/767/777/77W

AS has operated it's fleet into ANC, SEA & PDX for years. Even when they had 72S, 727, 73S, M80, even the 73M regularly visited SEA.

TCX have done it over October school holidays into GLA A330, 767, 757, A321, A320

Cyprus Airways operates all of its fleet sometimes to LHR, CDG, ATH, SVO, AMS. they all received the a330 when they had it as well.

I believe Allegiant operates their entire fleet into LAS.

Air Wisconsin operates their entire fleet into every airport they serve, as does Go Jet.

Of the big three, I believe the only two airports that see every Delta type are DTW and ATL, but I could be wrong on that. At AA, I believe its DFW and LAX, since the MD 80's don't visit MIA, and I think that ORD sees every AA type now as well.
UA, now that the 747's are an SFO based plane....the only hubs that will see every UA type will be SFO and LAX (I could be wrong since I can't remember if LAX sees 777 service at all)

Quoting FWAERJ (Reply 18): AA flies their entire mainline fleet into their DFW hub: -MD-80 -737-800 -757 -767-300ER -777-200ER -777-300ER (very soon)

I believe AA's only type that was never used at DFW was the A300. There was a recent thread on this.

Quoting PiedmontINT (Reply 7): Southwest operates all of its fleet types into every airport they fly too

Not every airport sees the 737-800 yet

If you are at MIA for the day, there is a chance you will see a few complete fleets fly through

Tampa Cargo 767-200 N767QT, N768QT, N769QT, N770QT and 767-300 N771QT are very likely to be seen all in one day

The same goes for Florida West, possibly LAN Cargo, Centurion, Skylease Cargo.

Quoting FWAERJ (Reply 34): Ah, I stand corrected. This means that DL operates all of their plane types into ATL, both mainline and Connection.

Delta does not fly the ERJ-140/145 into ATL, nor do they fly the EMB-120 there (which is only SLC-based and flown At-Risk by SkyWest).

DTW does get the -140/145s though.

Tunisair fly A300/319/320 B735/6 to ORY, MRS, LYS, FCO, BRU, IST, TIP...

It's common, but the topic is regarding destinations and not home bases or hubs  

Quoting QatarA340 (Reply 23): Qatar airways operates all types to Dubai and Bahrain.

Including the A319's?

Quoting LX138 (Reply 32): RJ (bar express ops)

They don't have such thing as 'express ops' but I assume you mean the Embraers? LHR also don't get the A313 (they still have one for pax flying) and A342.

Quoting LX138 (Reply 32): and lately TK - seem to send just about everything over the last month

Quoting TK1244 (Reply 42): We can see the whole fleet of TK at the bigger European destinations (LHR, AMS, CDG, DUS, etc)

Not correct, TK still has 3 B734's and they never visit the mentioned cities.   Also the 4 B73W's (the other 4 are flying with Anadolujet) are very rare.

Quoting apodino (Reply 48): UA, now that the 747's are an SFO based plane....the only hubs that will see every UA type will be SFO and LAX (I could be wrong since I can't remember if LAX sees 777 service at all)

Actually I might stand corrected on this. Is any hub other than IAH seeing the 787 at the moment? If not...then no UA station sees every type.

Quoting USAirALB (Reply 20): MCO sees A319, A320, A321, A332, B734, B757, B767. They see all mainline aircraft except the A333 and E90. I believe MCO is the spoke location in the US that sees a A330 on a regular basis.

On which routes does US fly their widebodies into MCO? I know at one point DL flew 763s from ATL to MCO. I didn't realize US apparently does this...

Quoting steeler83 (Reply 55): On which routes does US fly their widebodies into MCO? I know at one point DL flew 763s from ATL to MCO. I didn't realize US apparently does this...

Currently US flies the following widebody routes to MCO:

Flight 801, CLT-MCO, A332
Flight 1020, PHL-MCO, B767
Flight 735, PHL-MCO, B767

On Saturdays, CLT-MCO sees an additional 767 operating as flight 1719.

US has been operating B767s on MCO-CLT/PHL for years now. They previously also operated PIT-MCO on an B767. This is the first year MCO has seen regularly scheduled A330 aircraft on US.

With the exception of the winter holiday, and certain Saturdays, DL no longer flies widebody aircraft into MCO. Sad, because MCO used to see MD11s, 764s, 763s, etc.. US is the only US airline (I believe) who still flies regularly scheduled widebodies to MCO.

[quote=Akiestar,reply=10]

I think PAL is 1x A319, plenty of A320 and the positioning A330 MNL-CEB for the NRT flight at Cebu. Seems to have changed dramatically since they took over 2P MNL-CEB also.

Quoting USAirALB (Reply 56): DL no longer flies widebody aircraft into MCO. Sad, because MCO used to see MD11s, 764s, 763s, etc..

Back in April, 2000, I went to Orlando with my high school's marching band, and we flew out of PIT with the option of flying US or DL. Many of my friends flew on a couple of DL flights bound for ATL, which connected to a 767 to MCO. I, unfortunately, had to settle for a non-stop 737-400 doing a YUL-PIT-MCO routing. My return flight, US flight 5, was on a 757 tho. That was doing a MCO-PIT-LAX routing...

How about IR to DXB. I have seen their 747s, A300s, 727s and 320s in DXB...........

Actually, for a short time it will be [i2]5 types[/i], as the 738ER will enter service before the D95 is phased out. That is of course assuming the D95s will not be based at DTW exclusively during the final months, as that's a strong possibility.

Sorry but i disagree, and trust me a TG Employee would surely know     

i have logged all TG flights for last twelve years now and the A340-600 and the A340-500 have never come to BOM!

the 77w has also never come except when 9W leased them to TG and they may have been in BOM for a while

TG into HKG
PR into CBE and DVO

thats really interesting
