S-Tier: Maximum Skybux Potential
The A380, B747-400, B777-300, and A350-1000 form the S-tier elite. The A380 leads the group with 470 maximum passengers in an all-economy configuration, making it the undisputed king of Skybux farming. The B747-400 offers 416 passengers with the unique upper deck layout. The B777-300 and A350-1000 provide strong alternatives at slightly lower capacity but reduced cost. All four excel on long-haul routes to Dubai, Honolulu, and Sydney where demand ratings reach 90-100 percent.

A-Tier: Strong Mid-to-Late Game Choices
A-tier aircraft including the B767-300, B787-8, A330-200, A340-500, A321, and B757-200 bridge the gap between affordable narrow-bodies and expensive flagships. The B757-200 is the highest-capacity narrow-body at 239 passengers, serving as an excellent stepping stone before your first widebody purchase. Widebody A-tier planes unlock long-haul routes with enough capacity to generate meaningful Skybux while costing significantly less than S-tier alternatives.
B-Tier and C-Tier: Progression Aircraft
B-tier planes like the A220-300, B737-800, A320, and DC-10 serve mid-game players building toward their first widebody. The Concorde is a B-tier prestige purchase — fun for roleplay at 60,000 Skybux but inferior to widebodies for farming. C-tier regional aircraft including the Dash 8, ERJ-145, and BAC 1-11 are early-game workhorses that help you learn service mechanics and complete missions efficiently with their quick boarding times.
D-Tier: Starter Equipment
The RJ-145 is your free starter aircraft with 50 passenger capacity. Use it exclusively for tutorials, missions, and learning emergency mechanics before upgrading. Its small cabin makes emergency practice manageable, and the quick boarding time helps with timed missions like the Secret Agent delivery.
How Seat Layout Affects Rankings
Tier rankings reflect base aircraft potential, but seat configuration dramatically affects real-world earnings. An A380 configured with all-economy seats and zero legroom reaches 470 passengers — far exceeding its default layout. Business and first class seats reduce total capacity but can improve satisfaction ratings on roleplay-focused flights. For farming purposes, always prioritize maximum economy density.
