An airline (or airlines) that operate all of the mentioned aircraft, preferably not sub-branches etc of a main company. If there are, who, and please give me a reference.

  1. not a chance.

    Unions with 747 and MD11 pilots would never allow their airline to pay the reduced wage scale required to profitably operate a turboprop, and no airline would pay turboprop pilot on the same scale as the 747 & MD11.  Just can't carry enough passengers far enough to make it economically viable.


  2. I don't think there are any.

    If there is it would most likely be a sub-branch. The three aircraft you mentioned are for very different route requirements and the gap between a 747 and a ATR is huge. KLM comes close though. Most airlines, if they go for big jets, they will also have a few medium sized jets like 757, 737, or A320, working the shorter domestic routes which means they won't bother getting ATRs, which is another aircraft type entirely, made by another company entirely. (brings costs up)

    Some have operated all three in the past. But not presently.

    I tried looking here :

    but no luck.

    you can try.


  3. UPS operates both the 747-400 and MD-11.

    FedEx operates the MD-11 and ATR72.

    I can't think of anyone that operates all three.
