Although this aircraft is still in operational service with many airlines. In the game, the aircraft is barely functional with high operating costs, insane fuel consumption why would you buy this aircraft.
I don't understand why anyone would operate this aircraft unless you work in North Korea.
This game also allow you to pretend to be in North Korea…
i buy these aircrafts because they are beautiful :)
you can operate that aircraft but take care that you have a predominantely profitable fleet
I tend to maintain companies with older aircraft-types and due to the mix of the selected maintenance-provider and tight schedules, some types are barely profitable due to high costs of maintenance. I also had my experience with the IL-62 and this aircraft can be operated profitably but lacks the performance to operate with a healthy payload from shorter runways. There is also the noise issue. This prevents the utilization of such aircraft in many ways.

While I still don't understand the intention of this post, let me quote myself from the other thread:
The number of commercial operators is zero. The roughly one dozen units is in service with paramil./gov. services or freighter. If at all.

For the same reason someone operates 60 Britten Norman airplanes in the UK.
Can’t remember who did it, but I saw it recently a couple of times

For a staff member you're incredibly rude. I will report you for this, I thought you have the decency to keep your mouth shut over past matters
There is nothing rude here. Everybody who ever has read your posts somewhere on the forum know this. And - why did you comment on this? Now everybody knows that you were the one with 60 Britten Norman... :blink:
Yes they do indeed…

Wow, really? Did the route ever break even?
As for IL 62, it was designed in the 60's, of course it was not as efficient as newer aircraft. But if the lease is dirt cheap, why not ;)

I honestly couldn't remember who it was, I see hundreds different airlines every single week
. But when you ask, why someone chooses to operate a certain type of aircraft, the answer is simple: Because one feels like doing it.
I have operated LET’s, MD88’s and MD10’s in a single company. Because I wanted to. Not because it makes sense.
Don’t get offended so easily. And try to not be so offensive in your language. :excl:
IL62s flying in the real world, only 14 examples remain, and some of those haven't been noted for some time.
A list if interested;
Gambian Govt. x 1
Sudanese Govt. x 1
North Korean Govt. x 1
Russian Air Force x 7
Rada Airlines(Belarus) x 1(Freighter conversion)
Air Koryo(N.Korea) x 2
Manas Airlines(Kyrgyzstan) x 1(Freighter conversion)
Will you also continue for all other old planes which are available in the game but perhaps not in reality?
Anything specific?
Some older planes still have a lot of airframes in use in Africa etc...
Here's a list of remaining Nord 262s.
An old favourite of mine, the Lockheed Tristar
Only two still flying and some 30 stored around the world. It's unlikely any of these will grace the skies again.
Here's a topical one, Ilyushin IL-18. of some 500 odd built (AS currently stands at 4102 with 256 on order as I type, Otto II) only 33 are still in a fly worthy condition.
