At least with commercial aviation, unless you can’t get ahold of new planes they get replaced much earlier than that due to wanting ever more efficient planes and more stringent noise regulations.
The old clunkers still around are mostly used in sanctioned countries, or where a market failure has failed to provide a decent equivalent (757/767)
- hef19898 3y agoOr they are used as a basis for freighter conversions. Not sure who still flys 757/767s so, at least for pax. Most shoupd have been replaced by 777/787/A350s by now. Edit: Totally forgot about Delta.
- sokoloff 3y agoDelta operates nearly 200 of the 75s & 76s. (They are the largest operator of both, I'm pretty sure.)
- awad 3y agoDelta and United both do, with Delta being the largest operator of both types.
- weaksauce 3y agoI flew on a 75 on delta the other day
- bobthepanda 3y agothere's not quite a plane on the market with the range and the lower capacity.
- BizarreByte 3y ago> or where a market failure has failed to provide a decent equivalent A whole lot of weird, or just simply old planes still operate in Canada for this reason. Until this year you could still find 737-200 flights in the north.
