I'm sure if you asked people, many would prefer a newer airplane. I've flown on 30 year old planes in the past and while there was nothing wrong with the plane, it's still something that makes you think. But most people don't have the option to turn down a flight because of the age of the aircraft.
- sokoloff 9y agoI'm also fairly sure if you asked them whether they'd rather pay $189 to fly across the country in a jet that might be as much as 25 years old or $589 to fly in a jet that they could be assured was no more than 8 years old, the $189 ticket wins by a landslide. I don't see any reason to think a similar price-sensitivity wouldn't apply to other forms of seat-rented transportation.
