One of those in-the-shower thoughts: I was curious to work out which airlines have most of each type of plane in the world. Maybe there is a single database somewhere, who knows. Anyway, without any research at all and just based on the darker corners of my useless facts memory, these are my guesses:

747 - BA
777 - BA or UA
767 - AA
757 - AA
737 - WN
717(MD80s etc) - ??

380 - EK (will be)
340 - LH ?
330 - CX
300/310 - ??
320/319/318 - LH ?

As you can see have not separated out by more specific types (e.g. 777-300 or 777-200), so its just a general SLF type of question. Nice to see that (unless I am wrong) BA still has most 74's than any other airline (she is still the most beautiful bird in the sky since the untimely retirement of Speedbird). Although flying in them does remind me that they are getting on a bit !

Pointers to useful sites welcome. Thanks !

Of the top of my head:

BA have the most 744's
Flybe have the most Q400's
Easy probably have the most A319's
Ryanair probably have the most 738's
and....The RAF have the most L1011's!

I believe SQ have the largest 777 fleet with 76 in service and Emirates is a close second with 60!

300/310-Fedex,
Pax version probably AA with 34,but most of the majors are bailing out of this old bird fast!Whether any of them will end up being converted to freighters has not been confirmed.
