Ryanair used to fly 12 sectors a day with their 732's out of DUB. With the 738 they sometimes fly 10 sectors day. Don't know if any other airlines do more then that.

Regards,
Sean

not really, in CRL a typical crew would get between 6 and 8 hours block time, this is times 2. So typical 738 in FR has between 12 and 16 hours block time a day. They work hard ;-)

AirBaltic uses their 737 not only for whole day with typical 30 min turnarounds, but also during night to fly to places like Tbillissi, Baku, Tel Aviv or Dublin
