1804:. This decision was based on the economics of operating three-crew airplanes (727s) with three engines, versus operating two-crew airplanes (DC-9s) with two engines. Both airplanes had about the same passenger and cargo capacity, so it was decided to replace the Boeing fleet.

Shortly before the DC-9 airplanes began arriving in Germany, however, the entire plan was cancelled because the leasing contracts that Carl Icahn had created for the former Ozark DC-9s specifically forbade any operations outside the continental limits of the United States. 2099: 2002: 1767: 3779: 1496: 1539: 1488: 1301: 724: 2063:, also on December 1, 2001.

Damon described air transportation as "a race between technology and bankruptcy."
