Part of Sky Team alliance. So Africa is covered by Air France and Alitalia pretty good coverege of the area. Eastern Europe is set by connections in Prague. Good connections to the Carribean and regional destinations in the US by Delta. Good connections to Korea and Asia (mainly China) that we don't offer. Aeromexico is good being one of the only other international carriers at MSY, and with lots of flights from MEX, GDL and CUN.
Also: Air New Zealand. They fly to NGO and give us great connections to the South Pacific. Plus, if Qantas doesn't mess with them, Ansett for our Australian segments. Emirates for connections to other places in the Middle East from Cairo and Dubai. Lapa for connections in Argentina. Lan Chile for flights within South America. Tunis Air for flights to Northern Africa.
No pax or revenue #s, this is just a dream, not a reality, I know most of it couldn't/wouldn't happen but oh well.
Hope you've enjoyed. BTW the Embrear ERJ 170 and 190 are supposed to come out in 2002 so this airline is a couple years in the future.

How's that? If United were headquartered here no-one would question what I have written. It's simply that you east and west coast "folks" think that Chicago is the only large city in the midwest, and everyone else lives on farms. St. Louis, Kansas City, and Cleveland are all located in the midwest, and none of which are small. With the proper feed, a Kansas City hub would be feasible (however that's spelled :-P), the other airlines that have tried just haven't done it right. And what makes an airline such as Aero Globe against all odds? No different than many of the other large airlines today, stablemate narrowbody (737) with a few other types to help out (MD-80, MD-90, 717, 757), and a staple widebody for international flights (777, 747, 767, and MD-11). We have an alliance, a feeder network, and a cargo network. Which is not at all unusual. We have hubs at important destinations in all corners of the US, as well as a few other "hubs" in other countries. Not unusual at all. (Hence United, and Northwest's "hub" at Tokyo Narita, and Northwests "hub" at Amsterdam). How that can be "against all odds" is past me. We also have a history, going 53 years back. So it's not like some people do, where they make a fantasy airline that suddenly pops up with a huge fleet of 777-300s serving the PHL market on domestic and international flights. I'm sorry to sound rude, or disrespectful, but it's not that far fetched. It just isn't real, and that is not something that some of you on here can deal with. I structure Aero Globe as close to other Major airlines as I can, and I have made it more and more realistic as I've learned more about airline operations (we used to have like 23 hubs, and operate an ungodly fleet of ancient 707s, 727s, DC-9s, 747 classics, as well as more modern aircraft). It's actually very well structured, if you look at things from a certain perspective. Compare AGA to AA. You'll discover, that we're not much different from AA, despite the larger fleet, more flights, and a few more hubs.

TransNational airlines was started as a premium service airline in 1961 based out of San Antonio, Texas with a fleet of 10 Boeing 707-126s (I use 026 since no one seems to know who it belongs to) by 1970, TransNational had grown to a fleet of 150 aircraft incuding 10 707-126, 30 707-326s 20 707-426s and 90 727-226s. TransNational also had a new hub in Miniappolis. In 1980 Trans National was one of the top five airlines in the United States. By now the 707s we almost gone, a fleet of 200 727-226s took their place and the Airbus A300 (40) and Lockheed L-1011 (25) TriStar was being used for most long haul flights. By 1990, the L-1011s were gone, and the A300s were on their way out and the 767 was on its way in, as well as 757 on longer domestic routes. In 2000, most of the A300s and 727s were gone, replaced by the 777/767 and the 737-700/-800. TransNational now has hubs in Boston and San Fransisco. TransNational Now has one of the most extensive domestic and international networks in the world and has the best service record in the US. 98% of TransNational's flights are on time, and it has been 21 months since anyone luggage was lost. All flights still get hot meals even in coach, and it is still served in china, with linnen and silver.

I am not from the east nor west coast. I am from Dallas. I think I know a little about the midwest. Kansas City couldn't serve as a large scale hub operation like yours (700+daily flights) because of its relatively small base population. Look at all the other hubs in the midwest and their catchment area.
Maybe 250 daily flights, but that is pushing it. That is the one problem with kids like you on these forums. They are so self absorbed with their hometown that they can't see the facts for what they are.

What's wrong with with wanting a little more for your airport? I like where I live. It might be a place that you haven't ever heard of before, but it is in the Midwest and it is an America West Airlines hub, and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing it become a little more than that one day.

N863DA,
Yes, Kansas City, Missouri is in Missouri. But there's also Kansas City, Kansas. As well as many suburbs on the MO and KS side. I live in one of the KS side suburbs, but I do not care to mention it's name, so I didn't want to mention it as the actual headquarters city.
US330,
Numero uno, I may be young, but I refuse to be called a kid. I am more mature than 95% of 14-15 year old males, and I'd bet money on it. I am very polite, respect my elders, respect girls (waiting 'till marriage until I have sex for one example), and I try not to ever use horrid language. I'll admit it, I do sometimes, but generally I do not. I've got goals in my life, I'm not going to do drugs ever, drink alcohol, or have sex underage. Unfortunately so, I know some real kids my age who don't know how to do any of the above.
Secondly, I am very realistic, I try very hard to be. First of all, this is a theoretical question that I asked. I know that Kansas City wouldn't be able to support 700+ daily flights by a single airline, at least not at the moment. Sometime in the future it may. I'm also very proud to be a Kansas Citian. The saying "Don't mess with Texas" has no meaning to me. Kansas City is certainly one of, if not the most beautiful city in the country. We're very clean, (even our "ghetto" is cleaner than most other large city's "ghetto"). Besides that, we also know a thing or two about hospitality. The food here is unbeatable, no steakhouse in the country could out do the Hereford House, or Plaza III. Both of which are found ONLY in Kansas City and it's suburbs. Our BBQ is unbeatable as well. I laugh at the thought of a New York BBQ cookoff, and despite some of the rumors that have managed to get around a bit, Texas does not "really know how to barbeque", well, maybe they do, and it may be good, but not as good as KC BBQ!!!! That's all I've got to say. I'm sorry if I sound rude, or disrespectful, but I felt challenged, and ended up on the defensive. I don't like feeling like I'm being backed into a corner, and as stupid as it may sound, if I feel as though I have, I'll come out fighting. The bottom line is, respect me and my dreams, and I'll respect you and yours. Once again, I'm sorry if I sounded disrespectful, or rude, but I felt challenged by you. Thanks for your time. Happy flying!

I'm a 40-something, but as a kid at heart (six on a good day...) I always enjoy imagining, and one of my favorite lands of make-believe is airliners. Fantasy is just that - it does not have to reflect the realities of the "real world." I loved seeing those Airbus A380s in Southwest colors earlier this year. Play is healthy. Imagination (as long as it is nonviolent) is healthy. Which is why I spend so much time at Airliners.net.

Seriously, you can operate the 757 into NCL if you want but I will keep the DH8 to BRS for just now. Maybe increase freq to 6 daily with mix of DH3 and CRJ.
