American, by far.

Not all of these aircraft are in service.
These are just what on the fleet roster.

Airfleets says it has 601 a/c in service. I thought they had around 700 myself, so its probably not the biggest by 300 a/c, but possibly by 200?
Any airline who can contend for being 2nd in the list would probably only meet around 250-300 a/c.
BA have 234 not including franchises (e.g. CitiExpress, GeeBee Bmed, Comair. These would bring their total to over 300.)
AF have exactly 250
LH have 249.
So you see its pretty much around the 250 mark for other major carriers

Not to nitpick, but as AE is owned by AA, shouldn't their fleet be added in? Or are we talking mainline only?

In 1989-1990 Aeroflot was by far the biggest in the world. Not anymore of course but here's a rough estimate.
650 Tu-134
750 Tu-154
400 Il-76
150 Il-62
80 Il-86
500 An-12
at least 1000 An-24/26
800 Yak-40?
100 Yak-42
plus various helicopters such as Mi-8/17, Mi-26, Ka-26, and airplanes like the An-2, An-28, An-30, possibly some Il-18 and An-8. All adds up to at least 6-7000 planes although with the An-2s it's probably closer to at least 10,000. Of course it was the only airline in the Soviet Union. I'd be interested to know how many planes all the major airlines in the US have all together.

As of June 30, Delta had 519 mainline aircraft, excluding the parked/subleased MD-11's. The Delta-owned Delta Connection carriers (Comair & ASA, which was recently sold to SkyWest) had over 300 aircraft combined.

Quoting Lightsaber (Reply 13):

Not to nitpick a bit more, especially with someone as bright as you (name fits if you think about it saber ), but MQ is owned by AMR Corp. which is also AA's parent. It is on a different certificate and has different labor contracts.
Also, according to AA, they have 710 active aircraft including 337 MD80s!! MQ has 286 total aircraft

So, as I see, it might not be in AA's plans to replace those MD-80s in a short period? I think they should start thinking about that, perhaps ordering more 738s. Also the A300s should be replaced, I flew one yesterday from MIA to CCS and, for the fifth time in my life, the flight was 1 hour delayed, this occasion due to hydraulic problems. For these, I don't have any airplanes in mind... Probably the 787???
Greetz!

I think the 787 might be a bit of a waste. It has range way beyond what AA needs to replace its A300 routes. What is the longest AA A300 route? im guessing JFK-somewhere in the caribbean maybe SDQ? so tahts what 5 hours max? you dont need a 787 for that. Possibly replace the A300s with more 767s and put 787s where the 767s used to be?

How do you figure? The 787-3 is a drop-in replacement for the A300 and 767-200s, and the 787-8 is a drop-in replacement for the 767-200ERs and 767-300s.

The A300s are cash cows for AA. They are perfectly suited for the high-density Latin American markets that AA dominates. They are especially profitable due to their high cargo capacity.
Sure, they'll be replaced sometime, but they are generally reliable. As long as AA is making money on them, they'll keep them.
"Lose" is not spelled with two o's!!!!
25 Commavia: But they are operational pieces of cr*p, which is why AA will no doubt replace them with 787s as soon as it is economically feasible. The only reason
27 Olympus69: Your confusion is caused by your not quite perfect sentence structure. the correct English reads - "what, 700 more aircraft to come?"
28 Commavia: Just what I said -- the A300s are a maintenance and scheduling nightmare, as they are always breaking down or going inop for maintenance. On any give

32 Glasgow: Airline with the smallest fleet! Or the most profitable airline?
