This may not be a strech of your immagination, but British Airways! I believe they have taken the best of Boeing and Airbus aircraft, by having their smaller aircraft's in the A319, 20, 21 family and their bigger planes consist of Boeing planes- 747, 757, 767 and the 777.

But thats just my opinion,

I really like Cathay Pacific's fleet. They got pretty much all the big aircraft except the MD-11. Lets see, they have B747s, B777s, A340s, and A330.

I also like KLM's fleet along with Air Canada.

AirTran · 06-23-2002, 08:00 PM

I love AirTran Airways fleet. The DC-9's are okay but the 717's kick!! I love those things!

Emirates

Mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing

Besides QANTAS, who runs the entire Boeing fleet without Airbus?

All I can think of are:
KLM
Japan Airlines
All Nippon Airways
VARIG
Air New Zealand
LOT
Malev
Delta

And the list goes on with a few smaller North American carriers such as Southwest and WestJet. I'm sure there are lots more around the world.

All Nippon Airways operates A321s

When QANTAS acquired Australian Airlines former TAA it had A300's in its fleet during this time. Maybe now it is true.

Another note KLM use to operate A310's same as its charter company Martinair.

continental sat · 06-26-2002, 01:46 PM

I think my favorite fleet would be Aeromexico dc9s, md80s ,757s,and 767s cant beat that

Good choice! By patronizing domestic designers, BOAC/BEA/British airways was responsible for launching and operating several fine planes, including: Canadair C-4, Viscount, Britannia, Trident, VC-10, Concorde. This airline has always had plenty of "class."
