Used often by its creator to experiment with different strategies, MacAir evolved from a small regional airline based in South-Eastern [[w:Australia|Australia]] to a now global airline flying to all continents bar Antarctica and North America. Following the acquisition of the first hub in Albury (ABX) and a number of long-range 777-200s, the airline began flying to Yogyakarta (YOG), opening a hub there, and to Singapore (XSP). The JOB hub was later closed due to low passenger numbers and demand. The airline's expansion into Asia was assisted by the decision to base most activity out of Hyderabad (HYD) and Urumqi (URC). Today, MacAir has multiple well-utilised gates at both airports and URC even has its own hub, now with many aircraft flying in and out every day. == Destinations == MacAir currently flies to around 70 destinations on all continents except Antarctica and North America. A majority of flights operate out of: *URC *LCA *DBO *BGY == Fleet == MacAir is currently embarking on a scheme to reduce the number and age of aircraft flown. As a general guide, aircraft more than eight years old and/or with two or fewer aircraft of its type being flown are up for replacement, mainly with newly acquired Airbus A330-200s and ATR-42-600s. == See also == *[[World AE1]] *[[The Alliance]] [[Category:Airlines]] [[Category:AE1 Airlines]]
