Why This Desk Names No Aircraft

The three reasons

It would be describing somebody else's property. This company owns no aircraft. Naming types on a public page implies a fleet, and a fleet is exactly what a broker does not have.

A type name is somebody's brand. The manufacturers are companies with names and marks of their own, and this desk does not decorate its pages with other companies' property.

It is not the useful question anyway. What decides a trip is whether the aircraft offered can use both fields with the party and the bags aboard on that date. A type name does not answer that; the operator's own performance figures do.

What is used instead

Plain description. How many seats, whether there is a separate hold, whether the trip is within the range of what is being offered without a stop. Those are properties a passenger can act on.

What a quote does name

The operator. Always, on request, and in writing.

That is the disclosure that matters and it is required of brokers in any case: the passenger is entitled to know which certificated company will actually fly the trip, and to make their own inquiries about it before committing.

A type name tells a passenger far less than the operator's name does, and the industry has it the wrong way round.

What this means when comparing quotes

Two answers for the same trip may be different sizes of aircraft, and this desk will say so in ordinary words: more seats, a bigger hold, a longer range without a stop. Whether that difference is worth the difference in price is the passenger's call, made on facts rather than on a name.
