It is 1962, and has been for some time now.

Suggestion for next game:

Cooperative play. We all team up to make one complete network, with multiple hubs, many regional flights, etc.

In response to the new versions of the 707 and DC8, Convair have released a stretched version of their airliner, the Convair 990!



Also available: The Tupolev Tu-124, the first turbofan-powered airliner.

NYI expands with new air services to Shanghai, Manila, Jakarta, Seoul, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Cairo, Mumbai, New Delhi, and a seasonal tourist service to Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.

Dropped destinations: Pago Pago (not needed as a fueling stop), Lima (aircraft rerouted via Sao Paulo), and Sand Island (not needed as a fueling stop).

Sounds fun. This game is scheduled to end in 2015 game time, so it'll be a while before the next game. Also, Cathay Pacific has replaced all of its Convair 880s with 990s.

TAL fleet: 27 DC-8s 30 Caravelles

It is now 1963.

Boeing has flown the 727-100 for the first time, an airliner which critics claim was the plane that the Junkers 152 and Sud Aviation Caravelle wanted to be. The plane is so quiet that it is capable of landing at noise-restricted airports, such as New York LaGuardia and Chicago Midway.
