I was led to believe all 738s just move around the bases and there are no specific allocations. Yet, if you look at NCL operations over the last few months, the vast majority of the aircraft are new build. Yes, they move around, but the maths still show it’s a mainly new build base. The last week for example, 7 out of 8 are new, way ahead of the expected 43% if it were just random.
Is this just a coincidence or is there an operational decision to put more new builds at NCL?
love the question as the mathematician in me has always tried to work out if rotations are random or carefully planned or somewhere in between
just to provide more stats to digest in 2019 from
NCL we flew out and back on new 737’s (JZHJ and JZBO ) but last year it was the much older GDFP and GDFS. At that time there seemed to be more older models based than new!
